PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police have arrested a woman who allegedly drove off after forgetting that her 5-week-old baby was in a car seat on the roof of her vehicle.
Officer James Holmes said officers were called out early Saturday after witnesses found a child strapped in a safety seat in the middle of an intersection.
The boy wasn't hurt. He's now in the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services.
Authorities say the child's mother, 19-year-old Catalina Clouser, her boyfriend and their friends had been smoking marijuana earlier in the evening at a nearby park.
Upset that her boyfriend was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, police say Clouser went to the home of friends and smoked more marijuana.
Clouser left around midnight. Police say she apparently put the sleeping baby on the roof and drove off, forgetting he was there.

Aw, nice reason to get rewarded for reproducing. NOT! Back in my day, I heard you HAD to NAME THE DADA. Not the "baby's mom or baby's dad. How times changed; it's unbelievable. Submt these parents to drug tests, and be done with the problem. No benefits with the excuse, "I don't know who the bab's dada is" Make it, "Sorry, we know who you screwed, but don't expect to screw us". End of reproducing money and end to the never-ending of being rewrded for "screwing around". Dumb broads. Haven't they heard of MORALS? Your baby's daddy(s) don't work. Even if they did and were honest, when you cheat, you cheat yourself. One mistake is enough. I don't care WHAT skin color you are.
