OMAHA (AP) — Authorities are recommending an Omaha toddler who was cursed at and encouraged to curse in a video posted online be placed with his 17-year-old mom.

The mother and 2-year-old boy were among four children placed in foster care last week because of concerns about the home where the video was shot and a drive-by shooting that took place in October.

The Nebraska Families Collaborative worker who asked for the removal said the 17-year-old's mother had been in jail since Dec. 17 on weapons charges and known gang members were allowed in the home regularly.

The 17-year-old denies involvement in the video of adults teaching her son to curse.

unfortunately.

2. Can we have a discussion of the Omaha cops' behavior in all of this?

or has the media by and large decided to just pretend that part never happened?
