Andrew Holmes was sent a viral video of a child in diapers smoking what appeared to be marijuana and Holmes did more than just block the sender.
The Chicago community activist went to police with the video on Wednesday showing what appears to be a toddler being instructed by an adult to inhale the marijuana. The Area South Special Victims unit of the Chicago Police Department is investigating. The video reportedly had over 500 likes and 1,200 comments as it made its rounds on social media.
“This is sickening,” Holmes said. “This child needs help ASAP if he hasn’t had help already. It’s disturbing to hear the adult that was in the background to let them hit it and they’re telling the child to inhale.”
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services said that they couldn’t confirm or deny whether they will launch their own investigation. The Illinois Attorney General’s office refuses to launch an investigation..
