The boy told police his mother told him if he smoked marijuana he would forget about his father who was in prison for selling and smoking crack. She also told him that smoking marijuana would not hurt him like cigarettes would, the York (Pa.) Daily Record reported.

Livelsberger is charged with three counts each of corruption of minors, possession of a small amount of marijuana, and one count each of endangering the welfare of children and possession with intent to distribute drug paraphernalia.

The status of her son's custody was not disclosed. Her next court hearing is scheduled for June 19.
