A mother abandoned her nine-day-old baby and toddler at home to go drinking at a bar, only to crash into a pole hours later and end up behind bars herself. Sandra Henriquez, 32, left her home in Muncie, Indiana, at 12:30 am to drink at Big Shots Pub, leaving her newborn and toddler alone for 14 hours before they were finally rescued.
She had already downed a six-pack of 16oz Budweiser cans before heading out, and after a night of drinking, she attempted to drive home but crashed into a utility pole at around 5:30 am. When police arrived at the scene, they found a baby car seat in her car but got no response when they asked if she had children. She was arrested and taken to Delaware County Jail, reported the Daily Mail.
