Toddler cried 'mama' as mom staggered under the influence nearby, police say

[Anonymous]

A woman — who police say appeared under the influence of pills — could barely stand in a Dollar General store while her 3-year-old pleaded for attention, according to an arrest report.

That was heartbreaking to watch. That poor baby. Why didn't anyone pick her up and comfort her?

Because picking up someone else's child can quickly get you incarcerated for kidnapping, child endangerment, and child abuse that's why. I'm willing to bet that if the police showed up and the woman/man had elected to hold the baby they would have been asked what their relationship was to the unconscious deadbeat mother on the ground.

Opioid addiction. I can only imagine what their home life is like. Poor kiddos.

I have a good friend who's married to a Trooper in Horry County. The crime is so bad there that they have an interactive crime map. I'm sure that I will hear more details about this case on my LEO wives group. This is very sad, and it happens all too often all over the country. Also, I wouldn't visit "Murder Beach", especially knowing everything that I know about it.

No one would be arrested for picking up and comforting a 2yo whose parent was incapacitated.

I can't stand to see a child suffer like that. I'd have done my best to comfort the baby even if I had some explaining to do.

But yes, it's now scary to contemplate picking up someone's child lest you be accused of kidnapping. I have hovered near little children before when I've found them alone. I wait for their caregiver to realize the child is missing. I don't want harm to come to the child from someone else who might have different intentions.

PP is insane. No one would arrest you for child abduction for simply picking up and comforting this child. Where is human compassion?

But filming this was so much fun.

Human compassion goes out the window with these crazy lawyer-happy parents and brutal police tactics these days. I've seen so many stories of parents suing other individuals and companies when something happens to the kid they were standing beside. What happened to personal responsibility? Throw in a mom who's got nothing to lose because she's a drug addict and she might actually get the charges lessened by blaming someone else...no, thank you.

Aside from that I've gotten yelled at for holding a baby (at the mother's request) for half an hour and returning her whole and happy only for mom to yell about the fact that the sun had made her precious baby's arm red.

Well, I'd pick up the kid. Let the lawyers do what they need to do.

Oh that poor baby. I just geared up watching that. How horrible.
