Child Abuse In Detroit.

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) – A Detroit mother has been charged with fourth-degree child abuse after her two young children were left alone in a west side home that later was burglarized.
The Wayne County prosecutor’s office says 31-year-old Deedra Pitts was arraigned Wednesday in 36th District Court and released on a personal bond.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for June 13.

The children alone in the home, on Pinehurst near Chicago, on Thursday when someone apparently broke in. The 10-year-old boy dialed 911 when he noticed the TV was missing and then carried his  10-month-old sister to a neighbor’s house, looking for help.
The kids were taken to a police precinct and later released to their father. Authorities said Pitts returned home at 9 a.m. the next day.
Appearing frantic and she demanded to know where her kids had gone, Pitts told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Vickie Thomas that she had left them home in the care of her sister.
Pitts has no listed phone number, and prosecutor’s spokeswoman Maria Miller said she doesn’t have a lawyer.

Peronal Response: This woman negelcted these children. There is no way that a 10-year old boy is fit to take care of a 10 month old child. He may be responsible to take care of himself while the mother is away but there is a baby involved. A 10-year old can't cook meals, bathe a baby, or make sure she is changed properly. The mother of these children know's that she is wrong. Where ever she went she could have took the children with her. There is no excuse for leaving a child this young to care for a baby. Then the article states that the house was burglerized while the children were in it. What if the burlgerer had murdered the children? What if the children were kidnapped? there is  no excuse for this at all.
