Hi. Would anyone kindly tell me what the following passage means? The passage is taken from the book "A Guide to Field Reasearch" written by Carol A. Bailey.
Thank you in advance.

He observed, interviewed, and took photographs of them, even one of "Primo feeding cocaine to Caesar on the benches of a housing project courtyard."

Primo is a Spanish man's name - so is Caesar. Primo was supplying cocaine to Caesar while they were sitting on a bench outside a block of apartments that are provided by the state for poor people.

I don't think it means that Caesar was actually eating it, but who knows with that crap.
