Momma, it’s cold in here!

If you’d like to read about he Dru Sjodin case this is the link to the articles in the local newspaper

Why do I even read the paper! This saddens me so much because there are people out there that want to have children so badly and are unable to. Then you have people like this!

ASHBY, Minn. – Social workers have taken custody of a 9-month-old girl who was found alone in a freezing apartment in the western Minnesota town of Ashby.

Police Chief Thor Tollefson said he discovered the baby on the floor Tuesday morning after a power company employee called him after hearing a child crying.

Tollefson said he soon learned that the girl’s mother was in jail in Fergus Falls, Minn., where she had been stopped in a stolen car a short time earlier.

He said the heat in the apartment was turned down, and two windows were broken. He estimated the temperature in the apartment was about 20 degrees. He said he didn’t know how long the girl had been alone.

The girl was treated for hypothermia and turned over to Grant County social services.

Charges against the 23-year-old mother were pending.

This girl/woman should have thought about her daughter before she stole the car. I have no doubt that drugs are involved! And why would one leave a 9-month-old home alone for any amount of time for any reason!

Now I am really pissed! My horrid night then log on to read the newspaper! It will be a wonder if I sleep at all!

That is so sad. I hope someone finds her a loving and warm home soon.
