Police: Woman left baby in cold outside bar while she drank

Police in Reno, Nev., have arrested a 41-year-old woman for allegedly leaving her 1-year-old child in a stroller in the cold outside a bar as she drank inside -- her 2-year-old daughter asleep alone at home.

Christine Yvette Lobe was arrested on suspicion of two counts of child endangerment or neglect.

Police were alerted at about midnight Wednesday by bar patrons who reported a child in a stroller alone outside the bar wearing only an infant bodysuit. The temperature that night was in the lower 30s, police said. Lobe allegedly left the the older child at home and walked with the other child to the bar to drink.

The girls were placed with their father, the Associated Press reported.

What a selfish country we are living in. This is so sad that someone puts their wants/needs before their families...

I hope she loses her kids

[conerned]

just because one person does this does not make our country selfish

[corbin]

I hope she can't HAVE anymore children!

[really....]

what does one individual have to do with the country? This individual is sick and needs to be separated from the children for their sakes. And apparently the country does not condone it.

You must have a license to have a dog. And people are often more outraged at the treatment of animals over people. No wonder this happens so often! If we would give people the same penalty for mistreatment of children as we do dogs maybe some would have second thoughts. Last week I saw on the national news where a fireman using a helicopter risked his life in a storm and flood to save the life of a dog; I believe that our most vulnerable deserves better?
