The woman, identified as Kelly Gonzalez, was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor, police Lt. C.D. Schnelle said.

Thought this was going to be another case of a Scandinavian mother leaving her kid outside in the cold, which is a custom in that part of the world and freaks people out here for some reason.

Why couldn't she bring the kid into the store? It's too young to be influenced by what it sees there. I don't think anyone would've called the cops for that.

Well of course she left it outside. Don't want it to thaw too much before you get a chance to prepare the bourbon (or rum) marinade.

Mommy has to go in this store and get some magic potion that will make me tolerate you for another day. Just sit here and try not to look pitiful for five got damned minutes will you? If a policeman or a guy with candy comes along, do mommie a favor and go with them. But always know this: No matter where you go in life, You must remember Harry, your father wanted you not me.

It's like Flashback Theater for Harry Freakstorm.

Wow, thats BS.

Social Services took the kid over "It was 26 degrees" (where'd that reading come from?) "Don't know how warmly dressed' (that seems very relevant) and "about 10 minutes" (was it 10 minutes or 2 minutes?)

My guess, they took her kid because of her latino name and how dare that slut be in a liquor store when she should be at home knitting socks.

Most appropriate "stupid" tag use I've seen. I'm baffled why she'd even think to do that. Admittedly I'm unfamiliar with KY liquor laws but even if they said "no one under 21 allowed!" she should have put it in the car. Still irresponsible but barring the actions of a kidnapper at least the baby would be protected from the elements.

This story has almost nothing to do with liquor... why would any mother leave her 7-month-old baby outside while going into any store, much less in below-freezing weather?

They gave the kid back. Put that card back in your wallet and leave it there.

Wow subby, you really are stupid. Why would this make her a contender for "Mother of the Year"? This is a horrible thing for a mother to do, I would think it would make her a very poor mother and she shouldn't win any kind of award!

Schenelle said he didn't know how warmly the child was dressed.

I may be over complicating things here but it's this a crucial factor?

JackieRabbit

In all seriousness, this was very bad judgement on the mother's part. But consider that her motivation for doing so may have been because Kentucky may have a law prohibiting minors from entering liquor stores. Mine does. You can't take Junior into the store with you. The store can lose it's license for allowing minors to enter.

Well, that's what Scandinavian parents do, too... it's not like they're leaving them out there in nothing but their diaper.

It's quite common to see strollers with babies inside them parked in front of stores or just outside in the back yard in temperatures far lower than 45F.

You know what, you're right. I misread the last sentence.

Social Services placed the child in the care of the family Wednesday night, police said.

I saw "Social Services placed the child in the care of..."

In any event, I don't see a cause for outrage. Maybe the child was asleep and it was noisy in the liquor store, a few minutes in chilly-ish weather isn't a big deal as long as the kid was dressed.

You can't take a baby into a liquor store? We don't have any age limit here for entering the store you just can't buy anything if you are not 21.

Bell's Boy

2012-01-19 01:10:03 PM

I suppose you all think she should have left the baby on the sidewalk instead? The baby is much safer in the shopping cart. Have you ever tried to remove a baby that is stuck to the sidewalk? It takes a lot of hot water and a good metal (not plastic!) snow shovel. I, for one, would rather expose the baby to 26 degree weather in a SAFE shopping cart than bring it in to the liquor store. Everybody knows that ghosts eat babies, and the liquor store people are kind enough to put up a sign letting you know that there are ghosts in the store.

Do you want to have babies eaten by ghosts? I don't think so.

Kids are durable. The self serving CPS workers need to understand that. Leaving a child appropriately dressed outdoors for a few minutes in 26 degree weather is a bit different than throwing a naked child into a snowbank and leaving them there.

Many of these parents are not monsters and we need to stop with these types of witch hunts. Of course this could all be a clever plot by the ZPG folks. Keep giving CPS more and more power and control over how kids are raised until it reaches a point to where people won't want to be parents. Brilliant.

I was (rudely) prevented from buying a 6-pack a few years ago when I was 29, I used to have a fresh-faced appearance that got me carded until just a couple years ago (now I'm a boot-faced hag on par with Nick Nolte.)

The guy carded me...then wanted to see an ID for my daughter. She was ten at the time.

I gave the beer, and all the other groceries back and shopped elsewhere after that. I know cashiers can be in a tough spot, but that was just stupid and embarrassing.

This is obviously over the line, but I do wish you could still leave kids in the car when you need to pop into the store for a second. Last weekend I was out with my 5YO daughter and I needed to run into a convenience store for apple juice for her little brother. The parking lot was empty, I was going to be in the store for 2 minutes, tops, and she was perfectly content in the backseat reading a book. This is in a very low crime area and I would have been able to see my truck the whole time. I asked her if she wanted to wait in the car for a minute, and she did. I got out, took two steps toward the door, sighed, turned around, and brought her in. It only takes one person to pull up, see her in the backseat, and call the cops.
