Not left in a car this time, but a shopping cart.

#IStandWithCherish

Mom Who Left Baby In Shopping Cart, Cherish Peterson, Gets Emotional Support Via Social Media Campaign #IStandWithCherish

Quote:
Peterson, the 27-year-old mother of four small children, told AZFamily that she’s a “good mom” who “made a horrible mistake” regarding the incident where the baby was left outside the grocery store in the shopping cart. Peterson’s baby was noticed by an off-duty officer, who stepped into a nearby Supercuts to see if the infant belonged to anyone.

Peterson says she realized after she got home and one of her older children asked where the baby was what a terrible error she had made. It took Cherish about forty minutes to make the roundtrip journey and come back for the baby and by the time she arrived, officers say she was very distraught with what had happened.

Sounds like she's in over her head. Four kids by 27 is a lot to handle, apparently.

my mom had 4 kids under 6 & never forgot about any of us while out shopping/running errands. When the youngest was born, she was 26. No sympathy from me.

Well as long as she is supported by strangers on social media, it's all ok.

She looks way older than 27. She's probably overwhelmed which means it's time to stop having kids.

And it is obvious she isn't one of those people who return the cart to the cart corral after she is done with it.

I have no idea how anyone could do this. I mean, it's not like a baby can HIDE in a shopping cart or anything.

Smh... People need to stop having kids if they are so forgetful that they nearly risk the child's life. "I forgot" my child in the cart, in the car, in the store etc should never be a valid excuse. I have a child and even in my worst parenting moments I have never forgot him... These stories about leaving kids in cars and random places are getting ridiculous now. It needs to be said: don't have any kids if your so overwhelmed and mind-f**** that you forget them and risk their lives.
