This is a very interesting story coming out of Colorado Springs. A 2 month old infant was taken to the hospital with a Blood Alcohol content of 0.364. This is over 4 times the legal limit for adults age 21 and up, which is 0.08.
Currently, the mother is being investigated for negligence, the police say, though they have no evidence of negligent conduct yet. They are gathering evidence, and hope to file charges against the mother soon.
I think it is blatantly obvious that there was negligent care here. How else does a 2 month old get drunk? Especially THAT drunk. Not only can 2 month olds not move on their own, but they need help swallowing and drinking. This means that somehow, the mother must have provided the baby with alcohol.
There's really not much other news about this story, but it sickening at least to me. Don't people have any respect for their children any more? This mother should be charged as extremely as possible, and her child should be most definitely taken away from her.
