Oregon man accused of blowing pot smoke into his year-old baby’s mouth

BEAVERTON, Ore. — An Oregon man has been accused of blowing pot smoke into the mouth of his year-old child.

Officers said they responded to a report of a domestic argument at the Beaverton home of 22-year-old Christopher Robert Kling on Sunday night when a family friend gave them a smartphone video of Kling drawing smoke from a glass pipe and blowing it into the child’s mouth.

KGW-TV reports that Kling is accused of endangering the welfare of a minor and other crimes. He made an initial court appearance Monday and asked for a court-appointed attorney. The public defender’s office in Washington County didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday seeking comment.

The police said the video had been turned over to child welfare authorities and wouldn’t be made public.
