Homeless single mom jailed for leaving her kids in car to go on job interview
What a heartbreaking mugshot. A homeless single mom, 35
year old Shanesha Taylor, who struggled to make ends meet is
in jail after she left her two sons, a 2 year old and 6 month
old in her car while she went on a job interview.
Madamenoire.com reports...
The Scottsdale, Ariz. native was arrested after she left
her young sons in a hot SUV that was locked with the
windows cracked as she went for a job interview at an
insurance company. A passerby heard Taylor's youngest
child crying and called police. When they arrived, Taylor
returned to her car 45 minutes after police got to the
scene, and when police arrested her, the two boys were
reportedly "crying and sweating profusely." Taylor told
police that she was homeless and needed the work, and
because she couldn't find someone to watch her kids, she
had to take them with her. This event occurred on March
20. Continue...
The response to her story has been split, with some people
saying that while she did make a mistake, she was simply
trying to find work to feed her kids. Others say, she left two
kids in a hot car, it's wrong, dangerous, and she should have
known better. Well, those in support of Taylor have actually
set up a fundraising campaign on YouCaring.com to help raise
money for Taylor and her kids, who are in the custody of Child
Protective Services at this time as she awaits charges. The
goal was only $9,000, which according to the person who set
up the fundraising campaign, Amanda Bishop, would be put into
an account for her family. However, the fundraiser has
brought in a whopping $63,000.
Taylor is still in jail while her children remain in protective
custody.
Was she wrong to leave her kids in the car to go look for a
job? What's your thoughts on this?
