Stoned Mom Leaves Baby On Roof Of Car, Drives Off

she should never get her child back….ever. she is obviously still way too immature to be a mother.

I saw this this morning and saw the first news report from last night, apparently her bf got arrested for possession charges earlier that day while they were smoking pot in the park.

i'm sorry dui charges lol

She is a complete idiot! Poor baby.

She was probably on her way to change her hair color…what a dumbass. Somebody needs to beat the shit out of her for that..

yes she should have it taken away and never see it again. If she did this, makes you wonder what else she might do if she ever got the kid back, she's a danger to herself and others, she's proven that with her bad judgement.

OMG!

OMG!

She is still young she is at that age where she wants to party and I really don't think she needs to have kids………Cause who is to say she isn't going to do it again……

YES!

ummmmmmm yes and she should be forced to get a hysterectomy.

She should not be a parent. This child should not get her child back. Ever ever ever ever. There are so many people out there that would make wonderful parents and deserve to have children. This person, is an awful parent and doesn't deserve the love of this baby.

NEVEER GIVER HER CHILD BACK THEY ARE SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WOULD MAKE GOOD PARENTS AND WOULD GIVE THAT BEAUTIFUL BABY LOVE AND A GOOD HOME.

Absolutely-she doesn't need a child or deserve one. The authorities should NOT give the child back to her.

What a fucking idiot!

Momma should not get this baby back…nor should she ever be able to have children again. If she smokes Pot…she doesn't deserve to have children. Welfare should not be helping her out either! TAKE THAT AWAY TOO! This is one of those time when the system needs to wake up & see this…a very LUCKY (innocent) baby.

She should lose cusody. How can you "forget" to put your baby in the car? The baby is better off with a family who will love and nurture her. At least then, she will stand a chance to grow up.

It never fails to amaze me that you have to have a license to own a dog, but not to breed a child, take the baby away and "fix" her!

as much as she does NOT deserve to get her baby back, parents who physically and mentally abuse their children get their kids back all the time or never get them taken away when they should. I bet she will never smoke weed again. At least I would hope she wouldn't especially if she wants to have her child!

never ever get the child back unless she can submit to taking a drug test every week! OMG! this world is a nightmare. each day it gets worse and worse. I REFUSE to watch the news anymore becuause of this crap.the most I see on news facts is on Facebook. she deserves to have this baby taking away and while she's in prison they will put the baby with someone who can actually take care of it.

really wtf why would you even question that ell yeah she should lose all rights to the baby.. Alot of people have lost there children for lessor reaSons.. If she was stupid enough to get high and do that to a five week old baby then she ont deserve shit..Give that baby to someone that will and can keep it safe.

Drugs is nothing to play with it has detroyed lots of life.people thinks getting high will make their problems go away only god can help us we want know if we want seek him true talk!

if you add up all the facts ,…first she is very young , second she is smoking with her boyfriend and he's getting drunk (while with the baby), and what the hell is she doing with the baby out at 1am in the first place. This could of had a very bad ending but God was looking out for the baby ( no one else did )….. so yes take the baby place the baby in foster home and if,.. only if, she some how drastickly changes her life may she fight to get her baby back.( but I cannot see that happening).

Not only should the baby be removed, but she should have a substance abuse evaluation and a psychological assessment, and when a child is removed, the goal should be reunification and she will have to do a boat load of services to prove she is capable of parenting her child. She need some parenting education classes. That psychological eval should assess her ability to parent, and whether she should get a psychiatric eval and individual counseling. She got problems. She's nineteen. Who does she live with? What kind of parents were her parents? How was her home life? Is she employed? If no, what does she do for income? Welfare? WIC? Who normally watches the baby and how long have she been smoking pot and drinking and since she was smoking pot the day this happened and looking to score some beer, chances are she's been high and or drunk while caring for her child. A lot of unanswered questions.

of course they are going to be it on the marijuana though…i have smoked marijuana ad then gotten my child safely into the car and into her carseat…this is about immaturity and worrying more about drinking and having fun then anything else…she obviously wasnt ready for a child and yes she should not be allowed to have her child back in anyway…ithis was just irresponsible and stupidity on her part….but don't blame marijuana for it or allow her to use that as an excuse as to why this happened.

boy was that a long run on sentence, lol.

boy was that a long run on sentence, lol.

Remove custody, permanently. Have her spayed. Then she can party, smoke, drink, and stay out all hours of the day and night without any sort of responsibility for the life of another human being…and if we're lucky, she'll either kill herself through stupidity or hit rock bottom and get clean. BUT AT LEAST INNOCENT DEPENDENT CHILDREN WOULD BE SAFE!

some secious counceling and classes for parenting, etc. than the Judge will decide. Thank God for the baby not being injured at all.

take the child and tie her tubes! irresponsible, brat!

Add to that a real drug test because I refuse to believe she was only on marijuana from the looks of her skin it appears she may be hitting the meth …

She needs drug rehab and parenting classes. Then you would have to re-evaluate. I think some of the judges would give the child back with lesser penalties. Amazing how these girls keep getting pregnant and don't realize what a responsibility parenthood is. In the meantime, maybe some responsible relative can take the child and raise him/her.

Lots of very responsible people smoke pot. That is not relevant at all. However, those responsible people don't put their children in danger like this. They use caution and common sense, something this idiot seems to be completely lacking.

This chick has absolutely no motherly instinct and she makes me sick. I cant go 2 min in my car without glancing in the back seat they r with me or not. It just part of being a parent naturallyi

yes, take the baby away. there will be many more incidents.

marijuana is not a drug its an herb grown on "Gods" green earth in the soil and dirt in the ground that "God" created it actually helps with cancer patients (medically proven) and it helps with eating disorders,sleeping disorders,ect…and for the blame to be put on the fact that smoke a little bit of pot before hand is ridiculous…she is just immature and more concerned with her bf and friends and partying to care or even take care of her responsibilities she obviously needs help…never in a mature right mind would someone purposely put their child on top of a car and drive off she did that to make sure she lost her child dont you see that? she put the kid in the carseat and then on top of the car and got in and drove off…even if u needed the extra hand to open the back door a responsible parent would not i repeat would not put the carseat on the top of the car they would put the child on the ground for a quick second or free there other hand to open the door blaming the drugs is immature…

Yes, and they need to have her fixed so she can't have anymore children

LOL @ this story

I agree with you whole heartedly on that. This woman should lose all her rights as a mother and not be allowed to have anymore children

Yeah I think the baby should be place into adoption and given to a loving family.

They should make her get help and have supervised visitation with HER child and then after properly showing maturity, responsibility and being clean then MAYBE just maybe she might could regain custody of her child…. yes this could have ended BADLY but it did not… so this could be God's way of waking this girl up and getting her life in order…. if after an appropriate amount of time she shows no sign of change then yes she should loose her rights….

And I agree with an earlier post about not understanding having to have a license to drive, to have a dog, to fish, hunt GET MARRIED but you can have as many children as you body can produce…

I agree this was a horribly irresponsible situation and could have been much worse, however, I believe she should be given the chance, under supervision, to earn her child back

Not the first 19 year old who takes her baby out for a late night of drugging and drinking. Courts need to start getting serious about truly wanting to help these kids. She is so young and her addiction is worst. Drug addicted folks who have legal problems ought to be placed in a two year mandatory inpatient treatment no ifs or buts. The problem is that the courts are way soft with them granting them a few days or months of jail time. No, mandatory drug treatment for these individuals who are obviously self destructive. A few days in jail is not sufficient. They get out and go at it again, perhaps, next time she is arrested for running over her child or someone else child.

Take this child away to give it a chance in life and put an IUD in the girl so she doesn't get pregnant again.

hell yea do not give this girl her child back apparently she thinks partying is a life better than her child and I think she should not be able to have no kids at all.

She doesn't deserve to have the child..

So where are all these wonderful adoptive homes coming from. By the time this goes through court and this child is eligible for adoption, she won't be a newborn. There are millions of children waiting to be adopted, but are considered too old by most adoptive parents.
Yes this young woman made a horrendous mistake and she needs to be held accountable, but she can learn from this. For all you self-righteous parents out there, you are only perfect until someone who doesn't love you sees your mistakes. She is young, a better excuse than many have.

She SURE remembered the important things, didn't she? She remembered to smoke pot & drink beer….P.O.S. spoiled brat! She should be spayed, NEVER get the child back AND do time in rehab! Wait till her child grows up & reads this story! I'd love to hear her explanation….I can't stand these young children having children, recipe for DISASTER!

Its people like this who you wish they were born without a uterus.

she should get taught a lesson and have her child taken but custody given to a reliable family member or either the child's father or mother so she can still have cinstant access to the baby.

Oh, she also remembered to keep her hair dyed pink so her roots don't show. That's IMPORTANT……

I think she is a poor excuse for a mother! 5 WEEKS! That is terrible, and neither her or her boyfriend realized what the happened. Sure, Ive driven off with a drink on the top of my are and Ive done it with my purse a time or too, but my child! Never! This probably means she was smoking the pot with her baby right there, and she was going to be drinking? How can you take care of a 5 week old baby when your drunk and high? my kids are 8,6, and 9 months and to this day I still will NOT drink to get drunk or even buzzed in front of my kids. There is a time and a place for that shit and it is NOT when you are supposed to be taking care of a baby, and this is EXACTLY WHY! makes me sick.

It is not in any way responsible if you do it around your child, or even if you are high around your child.

It is not in any way responsible if you do it around your child, or even if you are high around your child.

Anyone who abuses drugs to the point of not remembering that your child is on top of the car, should not have a child. Anyone who abuses drugs period, should not be with child.

The baby deserves a better life with responsible loving parents! I doubt she'll learn from this. You cannot fix "stupid"!

Not only should they take the baby, she needs to be fixed so she can't breed. There should be a test to prove competency before a person is allowed to have a child.

yep..I think she should lose her child…but where would it go? To a foster home? And who knows what will happen to it there. There are a lot of bad parents out there..do we take them all the kids away? Who will raise them then? Stupid people breed…that's the way of the world. It won't ever change.

Yes!

I hate even calling that woman a mom- she is just a baby factory- has nothing to do with being a mom- a REAL mom is responsible and thinks of her baby before herself or her boyfriend! Only thing I can say "sorry folks- you can't fix stupid"!

Agree with everyone posting, she should have her baby taken away forever now, not wait until the baby DOES get seriously hurt because of her stupidity and neglect! Unfortunately, the state will probably give her 100 more chances to mess up. I hope not, but pretty sure that is what will happen…

…And pot advocates say it's not a drug….

wow…. i have no words

Ok this is ridiculous-Girl should immediately be taken to be spayed- for outpatient tubal ligation so she will not be able to endanger other little ones in addition shouldn't her ass be in jail for child abuse for exposure to smoke – Marijuana or regular it's still smoke-

this mother should not get ths baby back she smokes pot drinks you be the judge.

Yes she should get her child taken away. First of all why would she have a baby that young out at 1 am? And then going to get beer and being high? Alot of my friends have children and are young they stopped partying and don't do stupid things to or around their kids. Its obvious this girl cares more about partying then her own child so she shouldn't have her, thank god the baby is ok!

I SAY HANG THE BITCH!

I SAY HANG THE BITCH!

DUHHH! this is not a mother! This is an idiot who will not learn. If she gets the child back she will do something equally as stupid and kill the baby next time. give that child to someone who will protect it!

I wasn't aware that "responsible" people broke the law by smoking pot! What a joke!

In the public square- hang her- like they did in the old days!!! This woman should never be around another child or a baby- she hasnt got the sense God gave a billy-goat!!!

What is wrong with these people??????? Fricken retard!!!!!!!

What is wrong with these people??????? Fricken retard!!!!!!!

Good thing the baby was OK.

so when you are smoking pot you think your reasoning skills are just as good as when your sober?? You have got to be kidding me!

I feel bad for the people out there trying to have children and cant & see stories like this one. This wasn't just extremely bad judgement, it was absolute stupidity! She ovbiously doesn't deserve to have a child when she smokes/drinks around her child when the baby should be home sleeping or at least with a sitter at 1am…most people wouldn't even dare to put their cellphone on the roof of their care, let alone a newborn baby. Shame on this idiot, absolutely disgusting.

WOW…..Jail time for sure…..

Of course she should lose her child. It is sad that it is illegal to prevent her from having another child.

She should never be able to get that precious baby back and should be put in jail and forbidden to have more children!!!

This is the most reasonable post I've seen on here. People make mistakes in life, stop to think this could be her wake up call. She is very young, really are we still the people we were when we were 19? I know I'm not.

OMFG! Is she realy that fucking stupid? Seriously! How do yu "forget" to put yur kid in the car? She was on more then just pot.

something else

Should she get this child back, really are you really asking that question? really, do you think, NOT. Hello this is uncalled for and this incident should follow this mother and her boyfriend for the rest of their life. They were given a precious gift of life and this is how they treat this innocent child. Really, I know this chick is 19 but where are the grandparents? They honestly think this girl was ready for a child? OMGOSH.

What a waste of life!…..hell no she shouldnt get her child back.

She absolutely should lose her parental rights. She didn't even go looking, she sent her friends. Total ans absolute loser.

It's like, you know..weed is not dangerous…to me.

She is definitely a poor excuse for a mom u r right there is definitely a time and place for drinking and partying and smoking if u r going too but not around children that's for alone down time when children r safe with someone else caring for them while u have ur down time!!!

I think she should never get this child back and she should be sterilized so she can never have another one. I know everybody will get mad about that, who cares, she could have killed her child & b—h was too stoned to care. Why not let someone who wanted a child adopt this one, unless she was using the baby for a free ride through life living off benefits?

The need nowadays is just plain awful!

News*

This is ridiculous, She should not get her child back. What kind of person does this, o a stupid one. What was she thinking? Apparently nothing. Get your head out of your ass and take care of your child before you do yourself. That child's needs are way more important than you going and getting a high. What a piece of garbage! Hopefully that child will be put into the arms of a person who will love and cherish the little one like he/she deserves.

I've never done anything that stupid after smoking my child is taken care of pot is not the reason this happened. This girl is obviously stupid I mean come on a child in a car seat is not a coke can.

good lord! this girl looks like shes from the circus! and she should never be able to get her baby back nor have anymore!

Wow barb you are really misinformed if you think people that smoke pot don't deserve to have children.With that level of intelligence I am quite impressed that you were actually able to navigate the computer long enough to actually create a Facebook profile. Kudos to you!

Pray for the spirit of addition to leave her. Additions a herrible thing. As a mom I couldn't image doing such a thing. PRAY FOR HER.

I am very thankful that the baby was not hurt since it could have been killed because of this "SELFISH BRAT".

Just because you can get pregnant doesn't make you a parent! People like this really P*** Me Off! And to answer the question, I think she should lose her rights to this baby.

Definitely take the baby from her & give her to parents who have been waiting on an adoption list. I know one couple right now that has been on a list for 7 years & they have been approached by a woman who wants $35,000-$40,000 for her 2 children, not counting the $5,000 already paid to a Social Service. People are selling their children. After you take away the baby, have her tubes tied, neuter the father and introduce her to Casey Anthony. Those two can party until they die, but they should neither should ever have another child.

Not to come rushing to the mother's defense or anything, we all have had kids & made mistakes with them… but we just never just left them on the hood of a fucking car. O_O That said. how old is this girl? 19. I mean… sadly being an adult isn't defaulted by one's age. It's tragic really. I feel bad for her, she probably loves her child she just doesn't have the capacity or means to care for it. That fact alone must be heartbreaking for her. None of us is perfect & no one knows what this girl must be going through. This isn't one of those cases where the mother is being malicious and putting said child in a microwave. This is a troubled girl who was led wayward & was going thru some serious shit that night prior to making this horrible mistake. Her nerves were probably a wreck. He child does need to be in more capable hands. Let's pray for her & her child. Aside from reading this article & being quick to comment it…

Must be some good weed.

She don't deserve being a mother

Ok, I really wish that people could sort out the difference between some people are JUST IDIOTS and MORONS and not muddy the situation blaming her behavior on her pot smoking. I don't smoke pot, but I don't think it should be illegal and I don't think that most RESPONSIBLE people who do indulge in that would EVER leave their baby on the roof of their car!!! Let's call a spade a spade, shall we? She left her baby on top of the car because she's a fucking idiot!!!

"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." John 8:7.

I've been saying this for YEARS. You need a license to practice medicine, to drive, to practice law…I think people need licenses to have children, too. If you fail the common sense part of the test, then sterilization should be mandatory.

Thats some bs…..i GUARANTEE SHE WAS NOT JUST STONED!!!!! She looks like a meth head or a bath salts user….not to mention she was pry drunk according to the article and that would be more of a cause for her to leave her baby on a roof then pot!!!! Plus, the police are just taking her word that she was just high?!?! Look at her, obviously a heavy drug user……when druggies get caught doing something wrong the first thing they do is blame it on weed because they think they will get off light…..but i guarantee as i said there is A LOT more to this story than weed!!!! Shame on the inquisitor for this headline!!!!!

Sometimes the law is wrong. I agree that you shouldn't be high around your kids, but plenty of responsible people break the law every day. Speeding. Failing ot signal at when making a turn/switching lanes/etc. .Getting 'high' on legal drugs. Sometimes, the law is wrong, and merely because it is made a law doesn't make it 'right'. 'Morality' and 'legality' are far from the same thing.

She should Not get her baby back. She needs to be an example to others that are young, and not responsible enough to care for there children!

Well, i agree she should not get her baby back, but smoking pot has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITUATION!!!! If you just look at the picture you can tell by her eyes she was doing ALOT more than smoking weed…her pupils are HUGE and pot does not make your pupils dialate!!! There are plenty of people who smoke weed responsibly and dont do it around their kids and they lead completely normal lives…..to say anyone who smokes pot deserves to have their kid taken away is an ignorant and uneducated response…..and if you can not tell this girl has a major drug problem…not with weed….then its time for you to get new glasses!!!!

Definately take the baby away, but also get help for that mother. If she gets clean & proves herself to be fit enough to be a truly fit parent, then & only then should she get her child back. This baby was miraculously unhurt, maybe it was a sign that would attract attention to this young mother needing help. God knows that most people only seem to put their two cents in when something terrible happens… it is called reaching out your hand to help someone in need! You can go ahead & bash me for my opinions!

Wow the fact that she smoked pot while her child was even with her is stupid. I'm guessing she is an airhead without the help of pot so no***She does not deserve to get her baby back***

I'll grant you that what she did was incredibly irresponsible, but there was no mal-intent here. She was young, she was tired, and she was under the influence of an intoxicant; these three factors led her to make a HUGE mistake. Instead of permanently depriving her of her child, or depriving the child of a loving parent, she should be allowed supervised visitation with her child until such time as she has completed parenting classes and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Once the mother has completed those classes, the child should be returned to the mother and monitoring by Child Services should commence.

WTF?

she should not get her child back she not responsible enough to have a baby to take care of, she don't need her.

It's obvious that she didn't mean to hurt the child. If she didn't care, she wouldn't have strapped the child in the car seat, and she would not have gone looking for the child once she realized that the baby was missing. Since she didn't mean to harm the child, and since she obviously cares for the child, she shouldn't have the child taken from her. God allows for second chances. We should allow for them, as well.

Child should be placed with a responsible relative. Mother should SERVE AT LEAST A MONTH in jail. Followed by a year of probation, parenting classes, random drug testing. After finished with probation and parenting classes she should be able to petition the court for her parental rights restored, yet continue to have oversight for at least three years to monitor her progress. Stop scapegoating bad parenting on marijuana, though. This story has nothing to do with marijuana and everything to do with BEING A MORON!

I don't think she should lose her child altogether. The child should be taken (which i;m sure they have already done) for an amount of time as seen fit by a court of law. She's young and dumb. Everyone at some point has made a bad decision, many of us not so reckless, but have done it just the same. After some time if she can prove to be a fit mother than she should have her child back. But she would really have to make some changes and understand what is most important – her child.

Do not give the child back, ever! She has a lot of growing up to do!

They should not give her that baby back how could u be so irresponsible wen it comes ta ur kid smh everybody wana have kids buh nobody knows how ta take care of them

They should not give her that baby back how could u be so irresponsible wen it comes ta ur kid smh everybody wana have kids buh nobody knows how ta take care of them

Kind of a cross between Mitt putting his dog on the roof and raising Arizona leaving the baby in the road. Only in Arizona.

Don't be stupid, Katie. Lots of responsible people speed sometimes, too, and that's breaking the law. Your attitude is the joke.

Brandy McHenry You shouldn't be drunk around your child, either. There are lots of things you shouldn't do around your children, whether they are legal or not.

so many of YOU wouldn't have your kids if society did that…. I know I wouldn't, but today I am a proud father of an amazing 15yo, however, when he was born I was a worthless drunk….today I am the rock of my entire family, the only stable pillar so when should they have sterilized me???

pull your head out of the ground

I agree with what you are saying under the supervised visitation part. She screwed up and she should know there are consequences but she should also have the chance to prove she can change.

Give the baby to her mother or closest relative.Why destroy the whole family due to some wreckless conduct, that will probably never happen again.And who knows if the family planning officer will place the baby with a pervert or not.Think of the mental disposition you create in the child because of being separated from it's biological parents and family.Taking children from their parent only create aching monsters that are hazards to the health of society.Destined to fuel the US prison industrial complex backed by tax payer dollars. If it had been a Judge in a rush who did the same thing you'd be explaining how heavy her caseload is, white washing it then brushing it under the table.People some times make foolish mistake.But it's wrong to punish everyone involved with the child by taking it away from the family and love ones altogether.But this society will not be satisfied unless some Gay couple adopts the baby get welfare and ruin the child's mind.

It appalling to me that anyone can become a mother whether they are mature and responsible enough to be one… Those who actually wants to adopt and WANTS to be parents must spend tens of thousands of dollars. I do not understand that logic.

Exactly. People can change.

Exactly. People can change.

wtf is wrong w/ppl. she should have her baby taken away and she needs to do parenting classes and counseling and then w/a watchful eye then she should get her baby back. and drug tested wkly. lol holla

this is why children should not use mood altering substances of any kind, even just marijuana. I do NOT advocate use of even MJ until 21 or older. Young brains still developing. Yes, needs to undye that pink hair, grow up quickly having a child and all and set priorities. I hope she wakes up.

I think chick should be fixed and her child placed in custody of someone who can't have kids but want kids… they'll take care of the child

She obviously can't have her kid back, but I think it was more along the lines that she wasn't thinking clearly because her boyfriend had just been arrested…those kind of things screw you up…however having the marijuana in her system probably did not help things either.

I find it amazing how todays annonomous social media allows so many of you to jump on a band wagon saying things you think is what should be said…. what she did was wrong yes, and she should be punished, and monitored as a parent, but to say she should be sterilized and her child taken away forever is akin to the salem witch hunts of old, let us just hope that this can be a great wake up call to her.

so sad!

so sad!

its not against the law to smoke pot anymore, or dont you read? I agree with Sandy Green, it becomes a problem when you put any other person's life in danger, esspecially a child.

wow. the child could be dead right now. she doesn't deserve to have her child back unless she goes through rehab for all the problems that landed that child in harms way in the first place. oh and don't forget parenting class.

Katie Fugate Gross well now you are!!

I don't thing this dingbat will EVER grow up. And yes, they should take the child away FOREVER – and right after that take her to the nearest hospital and have her sterilized so she can't breed any more.

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES,, take the baby away,,, who knows what she'll do next..some people should not be allowed to be mothers.

Snaa Ux Peele – Are you aware that you are one in a MILLION – kudos to you for turning your life around – but be aware that it doesn't usually turn out that way – and yes, most people like the one in the article SHOULD be sterilized. I'll bet if you looked into her past she didn't have much of an upbringing, either – and so the stupidity breeds MORE stupidity – another argument FOR sterilization.

She won't – and will probably die in the gutter before she's 25.

I too agree this is the most sensible post out of all 62. Well said Rhonda Lee Bracero.

Sandy Green – Oh, really? I worked in healthcare for 20+ years and one of the drug counselors I worked with told me that EVERY SINGLE PERSON he counseled for a serious drug problem started with POT – it IS a gateway drug, plain and simple. When the buzz from pot is no longer enough, people will move on to harder drugs – it's an undisputed fact. So you are wrong when you say "very responsible people smoke pot" – they may be responsible today but I wouldn't count on them staying that way forever.

she does not need or want that baby…give it to someone who will take care of it and love it and keep it safe.

Well said, Rhonda!

if you are responsible and have common sense, you would not be smoking some pot in the first place!!

Gena – how many times do we read in the paper that people like this one are given a chance – sometimes more than one chance – go to classes, follow the program, get "rehabilitated" and then once they get the kid back the child is either severely injured or dead. Happens time and time again because liberal, kool-aid drinking judges and social workers don't have the brains they were born with. Happened in my home town years ago – two months after being given back to his abusive "rehabilitated" parents he was dead. And they're still looking for the body of a little girl her in Phoenix who was killed by her mother – who, BTW, was in prison for 4 years for abusing her other kids. Jhessey Shockley was living with relatives who took good care of her and loved her, wanted to adopt her. But, NOOOOO, some dumb-ass judge gave her back and she beat the child to death according to the other kids who were to afraid to fess up for over a month. NO WAY should she EVER get this baby back and she should be marched to the nearest hospital and sterilized. Oh, and BTW Jhessey's mother was pregnant yet again when she reported the little girl "missing".

Yes, we waited 5 years for our adopted son 39 years ago and that was right before Roe v. Wade went into effect – it's even harder now.

Stephanie – depends where you live – but remember a government who will let – really encourage – it's citizens to get stoned does so for one reason and one reason only: a stoned society is an easier to control society. Believe it.

I think what happened is inexcusable!
She should be made to sign away her child for adoption. The baby's welfare comes first. This mother is young and shows no responsibility. It is possible that she will turn around her life in the future and will be able to responsibly raise a child in the future, but not this one. In my opinion, it would be best to put the child up for adoption.

she should not be allowed to get the child back. She is in serious need of counseling.

Snaa Ux Peele Honestly, I should not be here. My mother should have never raised a child. Then I would not have my beautiful son. But I still feel that some people should not be allowed to procreate. I do not know how we would do this because people can change, maybe something temporary(?) I do not have the answer, but the issue needs to be addressed. We all know that it is bad upbringings that make the most of our murders and other criminals. Why is the cause not addressed?

welll then……sounds like noe of you have ever done some dumb shit before. Do you realize how many people in this world drink and/or smoke weed and have kids? its a good thing its not up to most of you who deserves what for each mistake they make in their own life. I mean come on. That's great that yall are perfect parents and behave so well for your fellow man and most importantly appear so firm and righteous here online but its time to look in the mirror and evaluate yourselves…learn from this story.it could happen to anyone and heaven help you if you were just have happened to had a glass of wine earleir because we would have to take your kids away and toss them in a home with a complete stranger and possibly really learn what abuse is…like I did..and sterilize you and throw you in prison..Personally I hope she learns from this and it wakes her up in some way..i do not hope her life is over..i hope she grows up like most of us should and learns not to leave the baby on the top of the car because no matter how much I just defended her…that is very uncool haha peace.

So I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for saying this but we've all been young and stupid and taking the baby out of the situation at this point is definitely a good idea…but I don't think it's ever the right choice to take a child away from parents that want them. I think that this girl should be forced to go to rehab, random drug testing, parenting classes etc and be allowed to have her baby back. It would be hell and a very hard learning experience and she would have to continue to be monitored once getting her baby back. If she really wants her baby she would do these things and if she didn't then yes the baby would do well with someone else.

HA…if all the people who smoke pot weren't allowed to have kids, there wouldn't be many here. Hmmm…perhaps that is a good birth control. Try to enforce it, though. As for this young mother, perhaps she AND the father should have to attend parenting classes, be on probation for a year and not drink, smoke pot, or do any other drugs, in order to get this child back.

She is aweful! thank God that the baby was ok, that baby needs to be in a foster home and she needs to go thru parenting classes before anyone can look at giving the baby back. For the babies sake she needs to be protected, loved, and nurtured. PERIOD

I agree.. I think the pot was a "cover up" to some serious secrets..

lol I've done that with coffee (numerous times) and briefcases before.

She should have the baby temporarily taken from her until she goes through a very strict parenting program. Does she deserve a second chance? YES – she most certainly does – she is only 19 – no one is perfect including all these people that want to condemn her for life. Give her a second chance – Monitor her after she gets through the parenting class.

never give her baby back, it could happen again!

looks to me she wassmoking more than pot

Gena Marie Meyer maybe i was not perfect at 19, but the difference is that I knew it and DIDN'T HAVE KIDS then.

This child should be taken away from this woman and she should never be allowed to get the baby back. What a sick, irresponsible pink haired, skanky person. Poor little baby.

Some people should not be parents

Taking the baby will make her "boo hoo, " and cry and whine for a min. obviously she is just wanting to party… Unfortunately she will be enabled to party and live it up while the baby is taken away… Seriously… she needs to be taken to a Church, where the nuns will MAKE her take care of her own child…. and guess what… she can't party.

Penelope Butera Not excusing her what so ever, but how can you say that when she is nearly a child herself!? One of the great things about humanity is that we can change! And the threat of losing ones child should make it real easy!

potheads should not be parents

I did something 'kinda' similar when my son was still in a car seat age. EXCEPT…it was my pocket book I left on the roof of the car, where I placed it, while Ii put my son into the car! There is NO way I would have EVER placed my son on the roof of the car in the first place! They probably won't take the baby away from her forever, they will probably make her take parenting classes and drug rehab…it's just the way system works sadly.

Penelope Butera I am very glad that I didn't have my daughter when I was younger because I was being a party girl too…but now at 28 I am 100% sober of my own volition. I'm not saying it's ok for her to be intoxicated around her baby, but smoking pot and drinking by no means makes you a lost cause…she just REALLY needs to get her priorities straight!!

This is why you should have to have a test to be able to have a child, at birth make us unable then after a long series of tests that you can take at what 21 (you can drink you can create life?) if you pass they go in and simply undo the surgery, make it so the test isn't made to fail people but made to remove the failures.

I have a feeling after such a horrible wake up call like this, she could change, she is young yes but look at her photo shes no drug addict.. she made a huge mistake, one she should be punished for but not to the extent of losing her child.. I believe this will scare her straight.. that is of course if she is mature enough, that you cant tell from lookin at a picture.

this is crap… she could have killed the baby. yes take it away forever.

Penelope Butera Everyone I know who has ever smoked marijuana started drinking first…alcohol is the real gateway drug. And a lot of people choose marijuana over prescription pills as a safer alternative. In fact alcohol and the strong drugs that doctors prescribe now a days are a much bigger culprit in child neglect than medicinal marijuana. I'm tired of people who drink and pop pills thinking that what they are doing is better than smoking marijuana. P.S. Not everyone who smokes moves on to harder drugs. Way to generalize a lot of people you do not know!

She was high off of something ….definitely

She was high off of something ….definitely

did you see what my status is?

I wholeheartedly agree! Everyone deserves another chance! And gee! What a wake up call that was! She needs help getting clean and she needs to find a new boyfriend and I think social services needs to stay very involved. But as far as taking her child forever and sterilizing her? These are just a bunch of people passing judgement like they've never done wrong in their life! Not to mention that foster care is often a much worse situation for the children…I speak from my own experience and many of my friends as well!!

There is NO way it was just marijuana!

It was the weed abbie and I better not catch you smoking it.

tsk, tsk, tsk, smh!

My guess it was the alcohol, being an airhead to begin with and being super distracted by her bf arrest. Pot is just not THAT strong!

My guess it was the alcohol, being an airhead to begin with and being super distracted by her bf arrest. Pot is just not THAT strong!

Dear god yes, it has only got to be a miracle no one hit that poor baby at 1 am in the morning. honestly who goes and smokes pot with there bf, and then goes to get a case of beer when they should be watching a 5 week old? that child should be placed with someone who will love it and take care of it that is responsible. my other question is why didn't she go back to look for it herself?

Ahole

It's not like she was a minor – f it was more than pot they'd obviously state it. Bad complexion/looking like shit does not equal meth use, just throwing that out there.

exactly

Penelope, I was actually going to say what Leighanna said. Alcohol is the problem drug, yet it is not only legal, but get caught drinking under age any more and you get a slap on the wrist and a "there there, don't ever do that again" from the law. Not to mention how many DUI's a person can receive, and still keep their drivers license. Besides the legal aspect, I have been a marijuana smoker for over 20 years now, yet I steer very clear of alcohol and pills, because I know that I have an addictive personality. Now from your perspective, if POT was such a gateway drug, wouldn't I have moved on to bigger and "better" drugs by now??? Just don't lump all pot smokers into one category. Yes, there are RESPONSIBLE smokers in the world. Ones that have raised kids who grow up just fine. Sorry for ranting, but I just hate when ppl profile ALL smokers, or drinkers or or ALL anything. Just curious…..have you ever smoked? Probably not, because if you had, you would understand what I (we) as a smoker(s), am(are) trying to convey.

had to be arizona…not surprised

oh and keep all your hate mail arizonans lol

I absolutely think she should NOT get her child back. That is ridiculous! There are so many mature, responsible people out there who can't have children, who WANT kids. The act of stupidity right there.

Sounds like a committed dopesucker to me. Givethe baby a chance with a safe home!

not every mom that smokes pot has the iq of a house plant…just sayin. any sober parent that would do that should lose their rights just as quickly

Wow. I agree with you Christi.

When the society is filled with people that thinks she should lose her child for ever because she had a moment when obviously she was mentally overwhelmed and thought she had secured her child in the car.(Mistake Granted)Is my verdict.But what about all the hundreds of innocent people that 's now being released from prison after the youthful years of their life was taken away from them by judges and jurors that think like most of you unforgiving wrenches.Yet you never seem to bring yourselves to account for ruining innocent lives.The girl made a mistake, no one was hurt, no one died.Bet you're in favor of letting that child molesting booty bandit coach go free because he had a good win/lost record.

yes!

But Jon Wichman- a living breathing human being- how could anybody drive off with a child or baby on top of their car- unless they are completely drunk or stoned!!!!

Helen Hevener If this catches on, they should start putting reflectors on baby seats like they do for bicycles
I like the licensing idea, but they tried that in China and then they just kill the girls they don't want so, that won't work either.

additions or addictions??? Addiction to anything is horrible!!!!

yes , she is an unfit mother whom is strung out on drugs, if she does it one time then she will do it again…she does not need any kids….SHE IS A STONED OUT CRACK HEAD, IF SHE EVER HAVE ANY MORE KIDS THEN THEY NEED TO TAKE THE KIDS FROM HER…OH YES HAVE HER STERILIZED…SHE IS A STUPID CRACK HEAD…YOUNG DUMB BITCH.

Neither did I but everyone I knew did( broken condoms, failed pills none on purpose of course) and yeah the partying occasionally happened. Now they are some of the best parents I know, clean sober, good careers. It happens. I'm not saying it was a good thing, far from it. I agree with Rhonda, supervised visitations, help and if there's improvement then it could be a possibility. If not then yeah the child should be as far away from her as possible. I just really don't like the holier than thou lynch mob mentality going on here as if everyone is the perfect parent or lived the perfect life.

I respect what you had to say Snaa Ux Peele because i just wrote something similar above you! I made a major mistake one night and i learned and was able to make a complete 180 with my life for the sake of my kids! Their father is worthless and not around so I am all they have. Everyone has made mistakes in their lives some are worse then others but they are all looked the same through God's eyes so none of us have the right to judge this persons mistakes

Lol I can't believe what I'm hearing.

What good is taking this kid away – she's just going to have 3 or 4 more that she'll mess up too.

actually Jon Wichman- I did that with a BIG GULP from Seven- Eleven once- almost flooded the parking lot. That may be why now they are looking at not allowing the BIG GULP to be sold anymore!! LOL

Agree with you.

Ok I agree baby needs to be taken away TIL she attends a certain amount of parenting Classes! By the way there are lot of people who smoke pot for medical reasons that are very responsible and people CAN change! I am sure you were not perfect when you were YOUNG! And this is the USA.

I wasn't counting fast-food cups, but yeah – not so many outside, but countless ones inside!

People are NOT perfect! I agree something needs to be done , But there are a lot worse people out there that do a lot more to children then this!

smoking pot in my opinion is wrong, but add a child to the mix NO the mother should not get her child back. some mothers should not have their own children if they cant figure out their priorities and put their children first.

I put that on my page too, didn't see you had it. I agree

Really people…this child should never be allowed to see her mother again because she made a really stupid mistake when she was 19…c'mon…humans would go extinct if we were all sterilized for making a stupid mistake when we were 19…what this child (the mother) needs is some parental guidance which she obviously is not getting as evidenced by drinking, smoking pot and getting pregnant at 19. Should she be punished? Of course! Should she lose her child forever? Not in my opinion!

Wow, I just read some more of the posts here…you all must have graduated college, got married, bought a house and never made a single mistake in your life then had children and they are all perfect just like you, right? WOW, glad you are all comfortable playing God and judging this girl…hope none of you are on the jury if my child ever screws up!

Judge judge judge judge. She is 19. People do grow up considerably as a few more years pass. I know this to be true. Your judgement is harsh and mean. Good thing people didn't treat you this way when you were a teen. You might not have made it into your 20s either.

Oh dear Jesus, what is wrong with these people?

Oh my Penelope! You are one ignorant and hateful person! Are you saying youre perfect??? You have never made mistakes in your life???? Even if they were small they are equal in God's eyes! You must be one angry person on the inside if you think anyone who does drugs or drinks cannot change and will end up dead. You are very naive about addictions if thats what you think. There are many who change their lives around or else there wouldnt be so many narcotics anonymous, alcoholics anonymous, or celebrate recovery programs succeeding around this country if most ended up dead! I am a living testament of a mother who made a horrible choice and was looked at as a lost cause by people like you! What the girl needs is SUPPORT to change her life!!!!! Not hateful people!!!!! You say shes a child but i have to say most of the people on this site need to grow up but none of you will until you are put into a situation to make you understand

good god, all these people saying "spay this girl" are acting like she's a god damn animal. what she did may be atrocious and down right terrible, yes, but remembers she's 19, completely irresponsible obviously, and has a long way to go until she reaches a more mature state of mind, if she does at all. calm your jets, people. be glad the baby is safe and out of her custody.

first off, no one says she'd addicted. she's clearly irresponsible, has no regards for her own baby which is fairly saddening. let's not jump to conclusions without the facts. plus, you can't actually be addicted to marijuana, it's more habitual if anything.

well, if being mentally overwhelmed = being stoned and absolutely forgetting, then yes, that's what happened. no offense but you don't just forget your 5 week old baby on the hood of a car, and ultimately, even being under the influence around your child is worse as your judgement calls and memory severely drop (perhaps not in all, but definitely her case). all in all, 19 is a pretty young age for a responsibility such as a child, but damn, that has to come first if you're a mother.

there's nothing wrong with smoking pot as long as you don't put yourself or others in danger. everything in responsible and moderate consumption. she could've been irresponsible to begin with and her usage of marijuana just magnified it – it doesn't cause the same effect for everyone, though, so don't be so quick say it's all due to marijuana.

This situation is horrific! She is not responsible enough to be a mother. You have to do what is in the best interest of the child. Thank god the child wasn't seriously wounded or killed. She is a negligent mother and needs to grow up. The judge and Child Protective Services will do the right thing when she goes to court. Hopefully there is a loving family member who can care for the child. Maybe this will be a wake up call for this mother. I hope so.

hell no she shouldn't get her kid back people like that don't need damn kids when people out there want kids and cant have any kids she should go to prison she shouldn't be driving high anyways she a dum bitch.

Taking her baby to a park to smoke weed and buy some beer with her BF. That there proves this kid doesn't deserve to be a mother and the fact she could have killed her own child because she was too high, says not only should this child be taken away, but she deserves to go to prison!

Y'all some judgemental sons of bitches I tell ya! Yeah she screwed up terribly, but to say she should NEVER have children again in life is God's choice not anyone elses!

This girl is beyond saveable!!

Man, people are crucifying this girl. Yeah, she made a pretty big mistake. I don't mean to sound dismissive either – it was a BIG mistake, but assuming she doesn't have a criminal record or history of failed responsibilities, shouldn't she be given another chance? Such an incident would rattle most people to their senses. I'd say let her keep the baby IF and only IF she completes a "new mothers" course, starts attending AA, and has a probationary license that only allows her to drive to and from work.

At least she didn't eat her baby!

She already had picked up snacks before she smoked!!

The child needs to be in foster care or in the home of a responsible family member. The mother deserves a chance to grow up. I know alot of you won't agree. I am a CASA volunteer. We are appointed by a Judge in cases such as this. We look out for the best interest of the CHILD. Parents are not perfect & neither are any of you who want her to be sterilized. Who made you god & let you decide who has children? Did any of you stop to think that people may feel the same way about you? No parent is perfect. God spared this child from harm for a reason. Maybe it's to wake mom up & let her realise she has a miracle on her hands. Every child is a miracle in themselves. The courts need to set her up a program tofollow to get help with alcohol & drugs. If the program is not follwed then the courts will terminated her rights. Did any of you think the father may want this child?

She has pink hair, she should never raise a child.

She has pink hair, she should never raise a child.

She has pink hair, she should never raise a child.

Wtf!!!

I've left worse on the top of my car all stoned like my wallet Lao

How about just weekends?

this is what happens when babies have babies. this is bullshit! my family lost our baby (my nephew) at five weeks due to SIDS! and this bitch just sits them on cars and drives off! she had to be high off something other than weed! I smoke everyday and it don't make you forget a CHILD! that's only another living human being!

It's stories like this that make one wonder why we need a license to catch a fish but not to be a parent. http://wp.me/p1se8R-2Tt Shame on her.

Her kid should be taken away, rather than be destined for a life in and out of jail.

I had my first daughter at 17,, and believe me it wasnt easy BUT there was no drinking or drugs in my life,,, I was too busy being a responsible parent to the beautiful person I created..Unfortunately someone just like this mother did drugs and alcohol and got behind the wheel of a car and killed my daughter! yes sterilize this dumb thing and take that baby away forever! she lost her rights to be a parent when she "forgot" she had put her on the roof! lets give that little one some rights first!

Personally I think there should be some sort of test done on the "couple" having the baby, extensive through tests and if you don't pass then "your" child stands a chance in a home with a deserving couple that can't concieve kids or whatever the situation is. I mean think about it, you have to take tests and obtain license for everything else in this country why not child care/birth? cause let's face it, some people should not be allowed to breed! we all know at least someone out there!

AMEN, RIP Penny and Nancy.

As much as I agree that this woman has no business being a mother, I disagree. How would allowances be made for rare lapses in judgement? I consider myself a good mom, my kids are well cared for, but have many moments I'm not proud of. Honestly I think at risk parents need better access to non-judgemental education. Not everyone is lucky enough to have good parental role models in their lives, makes you wonder who raised her. Or, she could just be a fool…

The baby could have easily died in that type of accident. She could have lost the baby anyways because she's too selfish to realize that when you have a baby, it's time to grow up yourself, no matter how old you are. She should not get the baby back and maybe then she'll realize that loosing a kid because of your own negligence is not worth it. Maybe by the time she has more kids she'll have learned her lesson.

She's a dumb ass! I saw this and could not believe it, but then again it is Arizona. Not sure which state produces the dumbest people… Florida or Arizona. I think they are tied. (DISCLAIMER: I of course am not saying that ALL people from either of these states are dumb).

Yes, and get her some help.

Yes, and get her some help.

Yes, and get her some help.

Yes, and get her some help.

What a worthless girl, I hate that kids are having babies when they can't even take care of themselves…its awful! I can't believe someone could do this! Its disgusting! They need to take that baby away frm her before she hurts the baby more…

She should not get her child back, ever! As far as her immaturity is concerned, it is not her immaturity that is in question, but her drug addiction. She should immediately check into narcotics anonymous and not be discharged until she is 100% clean.

So she's a bad mother because she likes pink hair? Perhaps she just got her hair colored and didn't have roots yet. But I"m sure that thought never occured to you because what the heck, she has pink hair, she smokes pot and she has a pale complexion, so she MUST be a bad person….right?

Comment wasn't being posted to a reply, so we'll try here…

Penelope Butera, no offense but it's almost hilarious how anti-marijuana you are. I'm sorry you allow yourself such to believe in such things without seeing the other side, you'd be the perfect brainwashed candidate of the "Reefer Madness" years. I once thought like you, at the age of 14 years old, completely unable to think for myself on the topic and just believed it was absolutely terrible because I was told it was. I eventually tried it for myself at the age of 17 and realized that not only were many people exaggerating beyond belief about marijuana and it's negativity, but that they hadn't actually educated themselves. If done responsibly, RESPONSIBLY, it's completely harmless and far less altering than you think it is. I stopped last year of 2011 after my father had passed away because I recognized I was no longer using it for the proper reasons I had intended and turned to it as an anti-depressant. I was able to cold turkey it, gave away my bongs, lighters, stash, threw away the pipes, and had absolutely no withdrawals. I never felt the need to use it again and never craved it. To this day, I'm amazed that many people still haven't taken the time to learn about it before condemning others. Marijuana isn't actually a gateway drug, but it's always easier to use as an excuse to blame for someone's addiction to harder drugs. The "gateway" to trying more drugs is based off of several factors other than just marijuana, let's be real. I'm not saying you should like weed or even approve of it, but if you do your research and think solely for yourself instead of people telling you it's terrible just because it is, maybe you'll gain a new perspective instead of shaming others for it.

"But because underage smoking and alcohol use typically precede marijuana use, marijuana is not the most common, and is rarely the first, “gateway” to illicit drug use. There is no conclusive evidence that the drug effects of marijuana are causally linked to the subsequent abuse of other illicit drugs."

I wonder how many people told her she was wonderful for not getting an abortion?

Yeah she shouldn't be able to breed… Let the kid grow up somewhere where her mother isn't around.

Disguisting! Now I know people should have a chance to redeem themselves but cannot understand the ignorance, incompetance, in unawareness of NOT knowing your child was on the hood of your own car? WOW & YOW…..what the heck is happening with some of these people. The child does not stand a chance! Poor thing……maybe she should be tied in a chair at 1 in the morning in the middle of the road and see what that poor child went through.

are we allowed to say dumbass.. she does not deserve to have this child… pray for them.

Everyone makes mistakes. Of course there are mistakes that you can never fix, but at least this child is okay. I'd have the poor girl put in a rehab and counseling, and depending on how much she improves within a year… depends on if she can have her back. If by then she hasn't made some really big changes, THEN is when she should permanently have her child taken from her.

DUMB ASS!

Of course they should take the child obviously this mother is too busy to raise the child properly. What a complete loser

Wow harsh comments! I would like to comment on how none of you are perfect and I am sure half of you have children that need to be sterilized! I pray that this girl grows up and becomes a mother this child can look up to. If she herself had been taught to respect herself she might not have be in the position to have had a child. But that really gives none of you the right to to judge her she will be judged enough by God and the police and she will have her day in court and be judged by those also! Can you imagine the fear she must have felt when she realized she might have killed her child May God forgive her not you hypocrites. I know all of you are just perfect and live in glass house be careful that you don't shatter with the rocks you throw!

Clouser or Clouster? this article has a misprint.

I could never do that to my child how stupid do you have to be to forget your child.

People amaze me. Not only this woman and what she has done but how judgemental and cruel so many of you are. It saddens me to believe that so many lack the heart to help both the mother and the child but to toss both out so easily. It's sad that she has a baby at such a young age and that she apparently has not been taught actual parenting skills. Let's work to fix the system not further burden it. Foster care costs state dollars – fix the issue. Take the same stand as China. You can have one child and if you have more than one then you are fined (heavily). Much better option. Since we are so in need to police every part of society. Be certain to continue to force your morals on every individual out there as well. After all, you have never made a mistake and the world needs to be JUST LIKE YOU! God Bless each and every one of you and may you be judged in the same style, manner and light in which you judge others.

I read this story too. She's only 19, she shouldn't be having babies yet!

Umm…she is kind if an idiot. Come on, now…you're stoned and your leave your baby on the roof of your car as you drive off? I'm not feelin too sorry for her. And I'm not judging her, but I am stating my opinion that she's a dumb ass.

*of*

I read these angry comments and it makes me wonder. Why are people not this up in arms about the hostile deadly enviroment that this girl irroniously created, when some Doctors do this daily, killing thousands of innocent babies? Does it make that much of a difference that the mother did it versus an educated Doctor? Does the term fetus really trick people into thinking this isn't a precious life? Realize too that I love all of you ladies who have had abortions. Our society has tricked you with a horrible deceptive lie. This girl made a mistake as have many, and we need to love her despite her shortcomings and failures.

I guess that shows that carseats really do work!

Stupid is as stupid does.

uh yeah!

lol my comment probably doesn't make sense. the question at end of article asks if you think child should be taken away from the mother…uh yeah!

Seriously!

People like this are just plain fucking retarded! I can't think of what else to say. Poor kid is going to grow up with no parents cus there fucktatds

I think it is great that people can say whatever they want on here. At least it gives me an idea on where this country is REALLY at and that will hopefully help me keep my child safer.

Fuck yeah she should have her child taken from her! Then she should take a bullet to the head.

No, i think it was an accident and she learned her lesson.

As a mother of 6 children my life is quite hectic but not once have I ever been that stupid or left my child any where if people want the social life don't have children

I mean a social life like that taking drugs!!
