[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2396676, member: 4899"] A Tulsa mother accused of leaving her 1-year-old son alone in car during below freezing temperatures while she worked was booked into jail on $100,000 bond Tuesday. Shalamar Ratliff, 27, told police she "knew it was stupid" to leave her baby in the parking lot of Hillcrest Hospital for eight hours, "but did it anyway," according to an arrest report. Ratliff told detectives that she took the baby to work with her about 5:30 a.m. on Jan. 22 because she didn't want to call in sick, the report said. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature that morning was 21 degrees. Ratliff said she returned to the car about 10:30 a.m. to feed the baby before heading back to work, the report said. Police said Ratliff left her son home alone on Jan. 16 while she went to work. The report states she said the baby's grandmother "could have cared for him, but she decided to leave him alone." Officers were called to the home hours later in response to an alarm call and found the baby alone. Ratliff then returned home an estimated 30 minutes later, police said. Ratliff remains in the Tulsa Jail on two child neglect complaints. The baby has been placed in Department of Human Services custody [url]http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/crimewatch/mother-arrested-after--year-old-son-reportedly-left-in/article_094b273a-88f0-11e3-81df-001a4bcf6878.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
