A woman is at home drinking, goes fishing, leaves kid in car...

Fortunately, the 3-year old kid is all right.

But this woman...I just wish someone would kick her ass.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - A Wisconsin woman is accused of locking her 3-year-old daughter in a car during a heat wave while she was fishing with a friend.

Twenty-four-year-old Jessica Jorgensen of West Allis was charged with felony child neglect. She posted $250 cash bond Monday.

According to the complaint, a passerby's dogs heard the girl's cries from a car shortly before 5:30 a.m. June 30 in Franklin.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports police were able to unlock the car. The girl was "flushed, sweaty and alert."

Officers found Jorgensen with a friend in a park. Jorgensen said she had been drinking at her home and felt it was too early to wake the girl, so she left her in the car.

Jorgensen's attorney says his client will plead not guilty at her arraignment Thursday.

Throw her ass in jail and take her kid away. As someone with 40+ years in pediatrics, I have ZERO patience with this kind of stupidity.
