Arizona Moms Arrested for Leaving Kids in Car with Marijuana

Two Arizona mothers face child abuse charges after leaving their children unattended in a car with marijuana while they went to a bar. A Good Samaritan discovered a young girl wandering alone in a parking lot and alerted Glendale police. Officers found three children, including a 7-month-old, inside the unlocked vehicle. Both mothers were arrested and charged with child abuse and criminal negligence. One mother, when questioned, claimed she had only gone to the bathroom, but police noted the significant time lapse between when the call was received and when the mothers were found. The incident highlights the dangers of leaving young children unattended and the consequences of such neglect. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible parenting and the potential legal repercussions of child endangerment. The children were taken into protective custody.
