A 1-year-old girl was left unattended in an unlocked car in the Old Town Trader Joe’s parking garage for about 30 minutes on Saturday before Alexandria police found the baby’s mother.
A Trader Joe’s employee contacted the store manager after noticing the child alone in a station wagon sitting in a car seat around noon. The manager then contacted the police, who quickly arrived on the scene with an EMS crew.
A police spokesperson said the child was quickly reunited with her mother, described as a 40-year-old Hispanic non-city resident, after police arrived on the scene.
Charges could be pending after police consult with the Commonwealth Attorney’s office on Monday, the police spokesperson said.
What's the problem?
I know that all of my friends and family have done likewise on multiple occassions. Now we're supposed to demonize the "dark skinned" people who do exactly what us light skinned people do? I know dozens of rich, white Old Town/ Rosemont moms who do the same. Where's the outrage? Better yet, wheres the outrage about moms and dads leaving sleeping kids at home while they pick up another child at school? I can't tell you how many times my wife has reported a mother or father of 3 picking up a kid at school when its damn clear that the others are napping ALONE at home.
Since everybody you know does it, why is your wife calling the police on the neighbor when you think she leaving her kids at home alone.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
