A Pinellas County charter school dean and his wife in Palm Harbor, Florida are accused of supplying drugs and alcohol to their underage babysitter on dozens of occasions.

According to WFLA in Tampa, Florida charter school dean Adam Thayer and his wife Misty Mitchell-Thayer are accused of supplying the underage teen babysitter, now 17, with beer and marijuana whenever they went out.

The pair also encouraged the teen to get high and drink on the job, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office alleged.

“Get drunk! Pass the f**k out! … If you want to smoke Adam has weed there,” an alleged text to the teen read.

The dean of a Pinellas County charter school and his wife provided their babysitter marijuana and alcoholic beverages over 30 times during a two-year span, according to deputies.

The girl worked as a babysitter for the parent’s seven-year-old twins since she was 15, the girl told investigators.

“The juvenile informed detectives she consumed alcohol every time she babysat for the Thayer’s children (approximately 30-40 times) since she was 15-years-old,” CBS in Atlanta writes. The girl also allegedly told police she would often get so drunk she would have been unable to help if there was an emergency with the children.
