Intoxicated Mother Forgets Baby On Car Roof And Drives Away
A 19 year old mother is being charged with child abuse and aggravated DUI charges after she drove home with her 5 week old child strapped in a car seat on the roof early Saturday morning.
The baby was found in the middle of an intersection in Phoenix, AZ around 1am on Saturday after falling off the roof but is "perfectly fine" according to Phoenix Police spokesman James Holmes. In a written statement Holmes also revealed some of the events leading up to Catalina Clouser (pictured above) leaving her child on the roof of her 2000 Ford Focus.First off, whoever made that car seat should use that in a commercial. I'd buy that brand exclusively if I had kids in car seats after something like that... Secondly, words just fail me when I think about a 19 year old mother smoking dope with the babydaddy and then driving off to go get booze. Um, hello? You broke two laws on your way to go break several more?
It's hard to say this, but falling off the roof of that car was the parental equivalent of hitting the lottery for that child. That baby will hopefully be taken away from that mother and given to someone more responsible, like perhaps a chimpanzee with a chainsaw. It's hard to see how wild marmosets could do a worse job raising an infant, it really is. I've had a newborn baby (two in fact). They do sleep an awful lot, that much is true, but when they're awake they need your undivided attention.
They don't need Mama Cheech and Daddy Chong.
That is all.
Thanks to reader Scott for this infuriating story...

I distinctly remember a similar case happening in Maryland when I was a kid -- yes, the baby was fine in that instance too. Those car seat makers really know their shit.
"given to someone more responsible, like perhaps a chimpanzee with a chainsaw"
I'm totally stealing that and using it on the guys who work for me.
Thanks Jay
Gaaaah; I'm chokin' on my own rage here!
Stock and Pillory?
Dunking Stool?
Whipping Post?
Damn! I miss the 17th Century.
I heard a story related by a radio preacher some years ago, where he said he drove off with a kid on the roof in a car seat. (It was Mom's day off so Dad had the kids, and by the time he got the other three bucked in he forgot about the baby.) The child was unharmed, although Dad nearly got a hickory shampoo from the responding police officer, news crew, and several bystanders.
He said the worst part was going home and admitting to his wife that he was the idiot she'd heard about on the news.
45th Avenue and Cholla.
Aka the west side.
Go figure.
Dontcha know when Marijuana is legal then these problems will magically evaporate. Well, that's what they think.
The best part? She and the baby had been dropped off at her boyfriend's house by the police earlier that day, when the boyfriend got arrested for DUI after he had taken the baby to the park to smoke weed and was driving them all home.
