3-year-old found wandering in street as mom partied at bar, police say

An Orlando-area mom was arrested after her three-year-old son was found wandering the streets after she allegedly left him home alone to go party.

WFTV reports 24-year-old Nicole Finnell's son Daniel was found by a passer-by barefoot and running around in the street on Saturday night.

Caleb Rosario says he could barely believe it when he and his sister spotted the child.

"I'm surprised the baby wasn't dead already," Rosario told WFTV.

Police say Finnell left her sleeping son in her home alone with the door unlocked and went to a bar and a house party.

"Apparently she waited until he went to sleep and then left him here and locked the door, and he can unlock the door," her father Scott Finnell told WFTV.

Scott Finnell says his daughter told him she had left her son with a babysitter, but he believes she is lying. He believes his grandson was feet from death when he was found.

"If he'd have got on Hoffner I'd have been getting a call I had a dead grandson," Scott Finnell told WFTV.

Police re-traced the baby's steps and found Nicole Finnell's house with the door unlocked. While they were investigating, they say Nicole Finnell showed up with a car full of friends, but told them to keep driving.

She is facing child neglect charges and is in jail on a $1,000 bond. Her father, who was awarded temporary custody of Daniel, says he has no plans to bail her out.

Sounds like something my birth sack might have done.

The bitchs' dad seems pretty cool.

Another "mother of the year" entry!!!!!!!!!

This is one female who should be neutered like a bitch dog. She has zero concept of motherhood and should not be allowed to reproduce. Her son should be given to the grandfather to raise and her privileges revoked immediately.

I guess color of skin doesn't matter anymore. Blacks and white can both be equally deficient in brain skills.....

(excuse me while I go outside and scream a little)

Only a $1,000 bond! This is pathetic on the judges part. She put that babies life in danger and technically can get out on $100, 10% of total bond. This pisses me off worse than her actions. Okay, maybe not worse but close. May her father continue to be strong and take the very best care of this young boy. Stupid has no race Wise Owl!

Mommy:

I'd have to be high on bath salts to pick her up at the bar.

Betcha she'll get the child back within 3 months or even sooner. Cuz I can tell ya that CPS (especially where I live) has the idea that a child even in danger belongs with the mother. And Yes, I had a CPS worker tell me that!

We really need to start a sterilization program folks................if you do not want.........or can't take care of children properly............ then you get cut off from having any more.

That is not eugenics........since you are not killing anyone..........it is preventative measures to stop the real tragedy of the moral collapse of society.

I've never heard that one. Can I steal it?

At least someone in the family has some common sense. Kudos to the grandfather.
