re: You be the Judge...

(Valerie Paraso, KFYI News) A Phoenix woman who left her 2-month-old baby on top of a car and drove off has been sentenced.

Catalina Mariah Clouser was sentenced to 16 years of supervised probation and a three- month deferred jail sentence for the June 2012 incident. Under the terms of her probation, she can't have contact with her son unless the visitation is approved by Child Protective Services and the probation department.

Clouser's attorney said her client is upset that she'll someday have to tell her son what happened. Clouser admitted to being high on pot when she left the boy on the roof of her car and drove about 12 miles before she noticed he was missing.

When she returned to the scene around 45th Avenue and Cholla, she was arrested.
