A car was stolen from an Augusta convenience store with a 5-month-old inside Saturday night, authorities said.
At 8:48 p.m., dispatch reported receiving a call that the car was stolen from a store on the corner of Fayetteville Drive and Milledgeville Road.
The baby was discovered a few minutes later in the middle of the road and was unharmed.
The missing car is a 2010 black Dodge Avenger with Florida license plates. The driver is described as a white male in his late 20s with tattoos on his arms and face, dispatch said.
When the driver is found, he and any other occupants should be charged with Grand Theft Auto and Attempted Homicide for putting the baby out in the middle of the road. What the h*** is wrong with people?
This borders on willful child neglect by the parent or gaurdian that left the child in the car while he/she ran into the convenience store.
Tie the guy up & place him in the middle of the road....like the Gordon Hy on a Sat night...yea...save tax dollars....
WHO LEAVES A BABY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD??
But also, aren't we supposed NOT to leave our babies in the car alone?
This is a mother's worst nightmare. We can't assume that the mother left the baby in the car unsupervised, although that is a possible explanation. I've had nightmares about someone holding me up or taking my keys while I'm pumping gas and then driving off with my kids inside.
If they find this _____; it would be fine by me if they handcuffed him to a post and gave that baby's mother a few minutes alone with him... with a baseball bat in her hands.
Good morning everybody...I was reading this story on Facebook from WRDW-TV news,it said this was a carjacking..If so that means the car and baby were taken by force..So i don't think we should blame the parent...
I'm going to try to post what was on Facebook about this ..
