LOWLIFE!!! She could have killed her baby because she was stoned on pot. I have no problem with people smoking pot. I think people should be allowed to do it in the privacy of their homes. But when you have a baby in your custody and possession, YOU DON'T DO DRUGS AND ENDANGER YOUR CHILD!!!
Anyone who voted accident needs to have their head examined.

A pot-smoking teen mom accidentally drives off with her 5-month-old son strapped in his car seat on the roof of the vehicle. Even worse: The baby falls off the car in the middle of an intersection (he was still strapped in and unharmed). Nevertheless, sounds like a controversy to us!
Catalina Clouser, 19, was arrested on Saturday and booked into jail on child abuse and aggravated assault charges, Phoenix police spokesman James Holmes told Reuters. The infant is currently in the custody of state Child Protective Services, Reuters reports.

So what went wrong? "It appears the suspect put the baby on the roof of the car and drove off, forgetting he was still on the roof," Holmes said in a written statement.
And how could a new mom possibly leave her baby on the roof of a moving car? Police said Clouser and her boyfriend had been smoking marijuana in a park and left with the baby to buy beer late on Friday night. Officers stopped the car and the boyfriend was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, Reuters reports.
But here's where it gets really bad. Clouser was so upset about the arrest that she drove to a friend's home and "admittedly smoked one or two additional bowls of marijuana," Holmes said. She left at about midnight with the infant asleep in his car seat, placing the child on top of the car, he said, and didn't realize that the baby was missing until she got home.
What do you think? Did Clouser make a mistake? Or should smoking pot when you're on mommy duty (and forgetting your baby on top of a moving car) be considered child abuse or even assault?

How many more times must we hear this tale, take the kids away from all those who take drugs.
and as far as saying she needs mental help for smoking marijuana is like u implying that everyone who smoke needs mental help and that is retarded
Its the pot that made her forget, yes leave her get high but without endangering the life of others.
God if you think this is rude, and it hurt you you are going to get a lot worse than this in life.
and second of all i wasnt "hurt" like u supposedly think. ive been through a hell of alot more in life than most people could handle!!! so it takes a lot more than a shallow person who cant see both sides of a story to "hurt" me
Answer--it IS a crime to kill a child at ANY point in their lives, it just isn't legally RECOGNIZED as one all the time.
NO.
I'm sorry to say the only acceptable accident was probably conceiving her son to begin with. Birth control is your friend, kids.
I'm also sorry to say that this doesn't help in the legalization of Marijuana at all.... way to go, Pinkie!!
