Police Confront Moms Accused of Leaving Kids in Car to Go Drinking
- On March 8, 2025, in Glendale, Arizona, two mothers were taken into custody after leaving their four small children alone inside a car while they consumed alcohol at a nearby bar.
- The arrest occurred after witnesses reported seeing a young child moving around unaccompanied in a parking area, prompting officers to spend more than 45 minutes searching for the children’s guardians before encountering two intoxicated women.
- Police found the mothers smelling of alcohol, displaying slurred speech, and a bag of marijuana accessible to the children inside the vehicle, which contained toddlers in car seats and older children aged 3 to 5 years.
- One officer stated, “That's a lie,” disputing the mothers’ claim they were only gone 10 to 15 minutes as the children had been unattended for more than 45 minutes, and Glendale police praised Good Samaritans who reported the situation.
- The children received medical assessments before being placed under the care of Arizona's Department of Child Safety, while the mothers, charged with child abuse involving criminal negligence, have had their prosecution paused as they undergo a felony diversion program focused on developing parenting skills.
