Stoned 7-year-old?

Move over Michael Phelps, this little boy gets higher than you do. I'm sure by now, most of you have seen the infamous youtube video of young David coming home from the dentist office after getting an extra tooth pulled. According to the small blurb about the video, his dad wanted to videotape him before and after because he was so nervous. Little did he know, the video was going to become such a hit. However, it seemed to have sparked some controversy as well. Some say it was wrong for the father to post such a thing, showing how high his son is. They seem to believe he is exploiting him and think it is wrong of him to be encouraging the fact that his son is high.

In his defense, the father claimed that he just wanted to ease his son's tension of doctors. He also said he wanted to tape him because it was just so funny. Later that night David and his mom were shown the video and they too, believed it to be hilarious.

So why the controversy? I don't see anything wrong with the video. This was simply just a father putting up a funny video of his son. And his son was not high because he actually smoked pot or did any other kinds of drugs, it was just from the anesthesia. He was not promoting anything in a negative light by posting the video. I think that there are a lot more clips on youtube that people can be more concerned about than this one.
