Responding officers met with the citizen and the 4-year-old male child. The child was not able to communicate where he lived resulting in a social media broadcast requesting citizen assistance.

In my opinion, this woman should receive the death penalty in a court of law.
Pamela says
Ridiculous. I used to go to the grocery store with my mother when I was little.
Michael Sturtevant says
Pamela, I concur. I hope she is sentenced, at a minimum, to a life sentence. Horrible.
