How cool is Baby Joe Camel two-pack a day smoker?

Two-Pack-a-Day babe is totally cooler than you, a two-year-old Sumatran baby who smokes some forty cigarettes a day. The government has offered to purchase the parents a car if the baby would stop smoking, but baby Joe camel just gets to angry if he is denied his fix. The parents claim he looks fine.

"He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem," says dad. Well except that he's a bit overweight and so unfit from the flab and the smoking, which he's been doing since his 30-year-old father gave him a cigarette at 18 months of age; can't play with the other kids. But whatever. He's a baby, smoking! He'll be too famous for exercise. Here's the astonishingly appalling video.

One has to admit, it is somewhat hilarious to some. If this side show were to happen in the United States, the parents would be arrested for child endangerment, child neglect; bottom line the parents would be brought up on criminal charges...etc.

What a world, if it was not for the videos, one would think this was a hoax.

What is criminal law?

Criminal law, or penal law, is the bodies of rules with the potential for severe impositions as punishment for failure to comply. Criminal punishment, depending on the offense and jurisdiction, may include execution, loss of liberty, government supervision (parole or probation), or fines. There are some archetypal crimes, like murder, but the acts that are forbidden are not wholly consistent between different criminal codes, and even within a particular code lines may be blurred as civil infractions may give rise also to criminal consequences. Criminal law typically is enforced by the government, unlike the civil law, which may be enforced by private parties.
