Mom Arrested for Letting Kids Walk to McDonald’s Around the Corner
7th April 2016
I am not making this up.
A South Carolina mom who let her 9-year-old nephew walk her 3-year-old son to the McDonald’s less than a quarter mile away has been—I’m sure you can finish this sentence in your sleep by now—arrested and charged with child neglect.
The reason? According to WSPA News 7:
The officer says the boys had to cross a street and pass several businesses and homes to get to the eatery, putting their safety at risk.
The mom, Tiesha Mesha Hillstock, 24, told the police the unthinkable: She had trusted the older boy to “take care of his cousin.”
It doesn’t get much more absurd that this. The police officer involved ought to be made to wear a diaper and suck his thumb for 24 hours in public.
