Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes was arrested by police for reckless endangerment after throwing a bong out of the window of her 36th floor New York apartment. The incident took place after police arrived to talk to the troubled actress about her marijuana use on Thursday night. She was then taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation before being booked at the police station for possession of marijuana, reckless endangerment and messing around with evidence. In NBC news in New York, sources told that police were called by the doorman on Thursday night, who stated that Bynes was smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building on West 47th Street. Officers responding to the call went to Bynes' apartment where sources explained that they noted a 'heavy smell of marijuana and smoke'. The officers were allowed inside the room by the actress and when they noticed a bong, Bynes quickly grabbed it and threw it out of the high-rise window in full view of the policemen. This action of her's led to the further charges, which was reckless endangerment. Reckless endangerment occurs when a person creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. Thankfully, however, nobody was injured by the falling bong. Following her treatment at Roosevelt Hospital, Bynes was then taken to a Midtown police station where she is to remain until a Friday court appearance.
After I read this article, all I could say was, "Wow." What is happening to children's stars these days? Do they not realize that some of them are role models to young kids? An example is Jamie Lynn Spears appearing on a kid's show, and then decides to get pregnant and have a baby with her boyfriend. Now Amanda Bynes has been arrested for possession of marijuana?! I used to watch the classic Nickelodeon television series, "The Amanda Show," with my cousins and brother when I was very small. The show was a hit and was aimed towards young children's feelings and sense of humour. But it seems to me that these so called, "children's stars," are smart when they are young, and then as they grow up they tend to make stupid life decisions. I was shocked when I heard about this article because I could never picture Amanda Bynes being arrested, I thought she would have at least some brains. I highly doubt that people will look at her the same way they used to now. I, for one, am quite disappointed that she just decided to cross the line and screw up her life. Does she have problems? Does she think it's cool? I don't know. All I know is that there is time for her to change because she is still young, but whether she decides to change or not, that's her choice. It's her life.
