NEW ORLEANS --
"A wandering toddler was taken to foster care Tuesday night after his mother didn't pick him up from New Orleans officials.
The owner of a Chevron station on Crowder Boulevard called officers at about 1 p.m. after the 3-year-old the boy wandered alone, shirtless, in the store.
His mother called police after seeing him on the news, but she never showed up to get him back.
Officials said they're not sure if the boy's mother would be given custody again."
This is a very disturbing story. Toddler runs around in, yes it is in the 50’s here, no shirt and shows up at a gas station. Mom calls and says yes it is my kid, but never picks him up.
Okay I get the fact that given the neighborhood that she might be a drug user and feel afraid of getting tested and arrested. I also get the fact that she is scared of being a non-fit mom.
Bottom line, she is a non – fit mom if she can not be bothered to take whatever rap social services is going to give her for calling, but not picking up.
This is a cute little guy and I truly hope that they take him away from his mom and give him a better chance at life.
If I was in a different place in life, I would Foster, Adopt and make a life for a child that has no chance whatsoever, given his/ her fucked up parents.
The fact that the write up even says “MAY NOT” be given back to the mom makes me want to vomit. Of course he should not be given back to a Mom that only noticed his absence after seeing it on the news, and then did not even bother to show up to collect him.
Biological is not best, no matter what the court system wants to make of it. I think why the court system tries so hard to make biological better is that ( found this out recently) it they take a child out of a family they are responsible for payments and health insurance, even if the child is adopted, until said child is 18. The child removed from a family becomes a ward of the State and is thus treated as a child in a custody agreement with the State being the parent paying child support.
At any rate, “Maybe " is not good enough for his cute little boy. “NO WAY IN HELL” is better.
Even in the system, given his age and looks, I think he will stand a better chance than with a MOM that could not even pick him up after seeing him on TV.
Maybe there is an errant Dad all involved with why Mom did not know he was missing. I will give her credit for that ignorance, but not for neglecting picking him up.
Some people need to be sterilized. Simple and True.

the mother is not a mother. she may have had a baby, but that does not make you a mother. Biological is not always best. I am adopting 2.5 year old twin girls because biological is not always best. The innocence of a child is not something that should be destroyed by a adult.If you cant handle it, keep it in your pants or your legs closed. And if that doesnt work, yes, then sterilize.
Well said! My sentiments exactly.
Just shows the type of people that are able to have children that should not be allowed to have children. Disgusting! I hate people who have kids but then don't want to actually have to raise them or do anything with them. Heaven forbid they actually give up their time to care for something that they made..
The sad thing is that the children will probably grow into their parents. It is a vicious cycle.
be careful, given the condition of the mother, he could have fetal alcohol. 2.5 strikes against him at birth.
it's a dirty world.
Good for people to know.
