The incident was reported to East Ayrshire Council Social Work Department.

Ayr state MP Siobhian Brown said she was “shocked” by the video.
Ms Brown, who is also Scotland’s community safety minister, said: “I don’t think anyone watching this video will find it ‘interesting’ or ‘interesting’ but most people will be shocked by it.
“E-cigarettes are not harmless and contain nicotine and dangerous toxins that can damage young, developing lungs.
“I hope this is an isolated incident and most responsible parents will be aware of the dangers.
“I have been concerned for many years about the rise in teenage vaping, particularly the attractive different flavors and accessibility of disposable e-cigarettes. The Scottish Government will introduce legislation next year to ban disposable e-cigarettes, which is welcome.”
