A US mother has been charged with child abuse after she allegedly drove with her baby on the roof of her car.
The one-month-old boy was found in a car seat on the ground near an intersection in Phoenix, Arizona, early on Saturday, myFOXphoenix.com reports. The mother Catalina Clouser, 19, has also been charged with driving under the influence after admitting she had been smoking cannabis.
"The woman who found him and I were just crying our eyes out," Leilani Gerlach, who lives on the corner where the baby was found, told ABC13. "How can someone forget their baby?"
Officer James Holmes said Clouser and her boyfriend had been at a nearby park on Friday evening. "The suspect's boyfriend and the suspect, along with her baby, left the park to purchase beer at around 11pm," he said. "The boyfriend was stopped by Phoenix officers and arrested for aggravated DUI after he was suspected of, and processed for being impaired while driving with the baby in the vehicle."
A police report said Clouser drove to a friend's house, smoked more cannabis and then drove home after forgetting her son was on the roof of the car. She only realised what had happened when she got home.
The baby is now is the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services
How can you forgot that you put a baby on your roof before driving off! Glad that the baby is okay and I am very happy that it is with CPS rather than the incompetent parents. Shows that it can be very dangerous being on drugs and she is very lucky she didn't hurt the baby.
