Grinning Kentucky mom reeking of booze told cops she left her todders alone to go ‘smoke’ — let’s just say it wasn’t cigarettes

Police arrested a 23-year-old Kentucky mother in early September 2025, after she allegedly left her two young children alone for hours while she went out to “smoke” what cops say was marijuana. The mother, Morgan Chapman’s mugshot, featuring a glamorous pose and a wide grin, has since gone viral online

Authorities charged Chapman of Pikeville, Kentucky, with two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor after police found her 2- and 4-year-old children unsupervised at her apartment. Police responded to a domestic disturbance call around 9 p.m. that night. Upon arrival, officers were greeted by the children, who were alone and unaware of their mother’s whereabouts.
