Police found a baby walking the streets 1 mile from home at 11pm at night, the mother was arrested. Why arrest the mother? Anyway here is the story from the channel 12 website
MILWAUKEE -- A 20-year-old Milwaukee mother was arrested Tuesday morning after police found her child wandering the streets alone Monday night.
Officers picked up the little girl near 27th and Burleigh streets at about 11 p.m.
A number of police officers regularly patrol the area. They found the little girl walking around all by herself.
After the girl's picture was aired on television Tuesday morning, the Milwaukee Police Department received calls identifying the child.
"I felt bad for the baby. I mean, what parent wouldn't feel bad for a baby roaming the street," neighbor Keisha Thomas said.
Thomas didn't see the little girl Monday night, but said she remembers seeing the child at a corner store before.
My take on this.
Why arrest the mother? She faces up to 9 months in jail for what? She said in the interview that she hasn't had the child in her care for weeks, why not arrest the baby-sitter. that is exactly why I hate Milwaukee's news services, they always find a way to make any story involving black folks worse. The child's mother is probably a bad mother, that goes without saying but what did she have to do with the fact that her baby was walking the ghetto streets at midnight when the child was under the supervision of someone else for the last few weeks? Shouldn't they be talking to the person who was actually supposed to be watching the child?
