BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin foster mother was ordered to remove a marijuana crop her teenage son had been growing in the garden where six small children under her care have been playing.
The Protestant church in Berlin told Silke B. to get rid of the marijuana plants, according to a report Friday in Bild newspaper, which printed pictures of the unmistakable plants next to a small pool full of children.
"Either the plants are removed or the children will be taken away," Marianne Bartzok, a church staff member, told the newspaper. Silke's son Sven was later seen carrying the plants away in plastic crates, the daily said.
Silke B. said she did not know what Sven was growing, but added: "I had a feeling it was something bad."
