Vianney Alyssa Acosta (El Paso County Jail).

A Texas aunt was arrested after her 1-year-old nephew smoked out of her marijuana vape pen, Lone Star State law enforcement say.

Vianney Alyssa Acosta, 20, is charged with one count each of possession of a controlled substance and child endangerment, as reported by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

It is unclear exactly how much marijuana the child allegedly ingested.

On May 16, sheriff’s deputies were summoned by fire department emergency personnel to a residence on Walker Post Avenue in far east El Paso for a 1-year-old boy experiencing breathing difficulties after reportedly “smoking a THC vape,” per a criminal complaint accessible through El Paso-based NBC affiliate KTSM and the El Paso Times.

The boy was relentlessly crying and “had droopy eyes and was trying to go to sleep,” when deputies arrived, according to the affidavit.

The adults at the scene quickly relayed the relevant details.

The toddler’s father, grandmother and aunt, Acosta, were all at home while his mother was at work on the day in question.

The grandmother stated that upon going to the bathroom, Acosta heard the child coughing and traced the sound to her bedroom, where she discovered him holding the vape, as detailed in the affidavit.

The grandmother then allegedly apprised the deputies that the vape contained “weed” and belonged to Acosta. When pressed as to whether she knew the younger woman used THC vape pens, the older woman allegedly replied in the affirmative and added: “Well she’s 20.”
