A woman was arrested at Community Hospital after leaving a young child in a hot car during a Department of Child Services (DCS) interview.
Jennifer K. Ost, 27, of Milroy, was in Community Pediatrics at a DCS appointment on Tuesday, July 16, according to court documents.
Ost had given birth to a boy on Friday, July 12 at Decatur County Memorial Hospital and had signed him out against medical advice.
quote:
Around 4:30 p.m., the hospital received a phone call stating that there was a small child in a car in the parking lot.
Hospital police responded and observed a male child watching a movie on a cell phone.
Police noted that it was 86 degrees outside, all of the vehicle’s windows were closed and the child was extremely wet from sweating.
According to court documents, the vehicle’s doors were unlocked and the responding officer brought the boy inside.

Is that a mugshot or is she at fantastic sams?

Was she getting her haircut right before the mugshots?

Arrest me, sue me, whatever, but if I see a child locked in a hot car in obvious distress, one or more windows are going to be broken before the cops get there.

Serious question, if you did something like this and somehow injured the baby ...
Could you be sued?

Needless to say she failed the interview. Hopefully both children were taken away.

Would think more along the line of criminal negligence, as opposed to being sued, but not sure.

If you’re an idiot and break the window next to the kid instead of the front windows, you deserve to be sued

You can be sued for anything.

I guess I should rephrase it to sued successfully

You can even sue yourself

Comparative negligence and sudden emergency doctrine (this one is a stretch though) probably would prevent you from being successfully sued if those doctrines are in your jurisdiction.

A one week old baby watching a movie on a cell phone?

Absolutely. Then I’m going to get that kid some water and a toy and let them know all adults aren’t pieces of shite
