PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police have arrested a woman who allegedly drove off after forgetting that her 5-week-old baby was in a car seat on the roof of her vehicle.

Officer James Holmes said officers were called out early Saturday after witnesses found a child strapped in a safety seat in the middle of an intersection.

The boy wasn't hurt. He's now in the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services.

Authorities say the child's mother, 19-year-old Catalina Clouser, her boyfriend and their friends had been smoking marijuana earlier in the evening at a nearby park.

Upset that her boyfriend was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, police say Clouser went to the home of friends and smoked more marijuana.

Clouser left around midnight. Police say she apparently put the sleeping baby on the roof and drove off, forgetting he was there.


Poster Comment:

Looks like she was too preoccupied with her pot-smoking friend to remember putting the child on the car roof and too fixated to notice the baby was not in the car.

Gene Weingarten, who usually writes humor, wrote a Very Serious article in the Washington Post a few years back that got a Pulitzer, about those horror stories about parents who forget their babies inside parked cars.

A large part of the blame is the safety requirement (which is entirely justified for safety reasons) that the baby be in one of those special carriers, in the back seat and facing the rear. With the baby there, and usually asleep, it's easy for the baby's presence in the car to slip the new parent's mind and for old shopping or commuting habits to take over. Maybe they remember the baby is in the car 99% of the time -- it's just that wretched 1% error that makes for the tragic newspaper stories.

Perhaps alarms similar to those that prevent keys in ignitions from being locked in. It could be a button activated enunciator or an option to read a car seat-mounted sensor if a child is strapped in.

Of course many wouldn't pay extra for an optional idiot/"I'm a bad mommy" device. I dare say that many men and women would not order seat belts if the numbers of motorcyclists without helmets (state law permitting) is any indication.

I sprinted across a parking lot in my heavy winter boots and caught a lady before she pulled onto the highway after she left her purse on the roof. She tried to express the incredible importance of her purse contents, but I declined the whole five bux. Photobucket
