A 19-year-old mother is under arrest on child abuse and aggravated DUI charges after police say she left her five-week-old baby strapped in a car seat on top of her 2000 Ford Focus and drove off. The child is said to be in good condition and now in custody of Arizona Child Protective Services. At about 1 a.m. Saturday, Phoenix police officers got calls from the 45th Avenue and Cholla area, just south of Cactus Road, that a baby was in a car seat in the middle of a road. Phoenix Fire Department officials found the baby and took him to a local hospital. He was “perfectly OK,” said Officer James Holmes, spokesman for Phoenix police.

Wow. Good thing the child wasn't hurt.

I don't see how someone can make this mistake. So glad the baby wasn't killed.

I cannot believe and am so thankful that the baby wasn't injured or killed.

Okay, I know a Focus isn't that tall a car, but how tall and strong must that woman have been for it to have been convenient to set a carseat on top the car? Carseats are freakin' HEAVY, and to heft one up that high just seems really difficult for me to imagine.

Well, here it says she's also charged with DUI and apparently toted her baby around all night while smoking marijuana

I hope she gets at least five years for this.

I really wish these young women who are not ready to be moms would get some birth control that works.

Idiot

poor child.

And also let's make sure the sperm donors do so as well. It takes two to tango.

I directed my comment only at the moms because in this case the mom is the one who left the baby on top of the car.

This story is so sad! How can a parent put their child in such danger?
