Kansas Woman Held in Child Endangerment Case

The mother told the judge Monday she was "under the influence" at the time.
A northeastern Kansas woman accused of leaving her 2-month-old son alone in a stroller in a dark alley has told a judge she's a good mother.
Twenty-eight-year-old Elizabeth Michaud made the statement Monday during an appearance in Leavenworth County District Court. The Leavenworth woman is charged with aggravated child endangerment.
A judge refused to release Michaud on her own recognizance, which would have let her leave jail without paying money. She remains in custody.
A Leavenworth resident spotted the stroller and the baby late on the night of May 3 in an alley about three blocks from Michaud's home. Police estimate the infant had been there at least three hours. He was slightly dehydrated.
Michaud told the judge Monday she was "under the influence" at the time.

Uhhhhh, She leaves her 2mo old, alone, in an ally, she was under the influence, then tells the Judge, She's a good mother!!! My 1st question would have to be, What in the hell is she comparing herself to "a good mother"?? Makes me wonder what kind of example was set for her as far as parenting. My next would be, is she mentally challenged? If not, this would be a good example of government ordered mandated birth control, she certainly does not need to be having more children!! Thank God someone found this poor baby in time before something worse happened!!
