A mother from Newclare who was seen on video getting her young son to light a drug pipe and smoke it with her, appeared in the Johannesburg magistrate's court on Thursday.
The video went viral on Tuesday and sparked outrage, leading to her arrest later that night by the Joburg Metro Police Department.
She was in the dock with three men alleged to have been in the room with her during the incident. Two were arrested on the same night as her and the other suspect was apprehended on Wednesday.
They are charged with attempted murder and child abuse for exposing the child to a harmful substance.
They intend to apply for Legal Aid lawyers to defend them. The case was remanded to August 4.
