Wow! Talk about unfit parenting. It’s really a shame what some people do to their kids. If you’re not interested in being a parent- DONT BE ONE! Poor child!
According to Fox5 San Diego:
A Des Moines mother was arrested Monday after police say her 2-year-old son was found alone, sucking on a frozen chicken breast.
Hallie Amick, 30, now faces charges of child endangerment for the incident, according to WHO-TV.
Police went to a home in the 100 block of East Emma Ave. around 10:15 a.m. Monday after someone called 911 reporting a toddler left home alone.
When officers arrived, they found a 2-year-old boy in the backyard, wearing nothing but a full and sagging diaper. Police say the child was sucking on a frozen chicken breast.
A small dog in the backyard was observed trying to jump up on the child to get the chicken.
Officers spoke with a neighbor who told them the child was often left unattended. She said she would see the man and woman leave the home, but not with the child.
Another neighbor told police she had found the child in the middle of the street at one point shortly after the family moved in, and said that they did not watch the child very well.
Police say when Amick arrived on the scene, she lied and told them this was the first time she had left the child alone, but after police confronted her with the neighbors’ claims she admitted she left the boy alone on “occasions.”
When police searched the home they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Amick was charged with possession of schedule 1 drugs.
She was taken into custody and booked into the Polk County Jail. Tuesday, she posted bond and was released.

The inmate who allegedly assaulted accused Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof has been released from jail.
According to the The Daily News, Dwayne Stafford, 26, was released from the Charleston County Detention Center on $100,000 bond Friday, the day after Roof was punched in the jail’s shower area.
The news outlet reports the 26-year-old had been behind bars since January 2015. He was arrested on first-degree assault and strong arm robbery charges. It’s unclear who paid for his release, but after the Thursday morning bathroom assault, Stafford’s fans organized a fundraiser to donate to his jail commissary account.
Dylann Roof is accused of the racially motivated massacre of nine African American parishioners last year at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church. Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon Jr. said that Roof, who is white, was out of his cell and on his way to the shower when the attack happened at the Charleston County Detention Center.
Although he was in protective custody, Roof, 22, was vulnerable because only one guard was in the area and he was fetching toilet tissue for another inmate, Cannon said. That allowed Stafford time to run down the stairs from his cell in the protective custody unit and assault Roof with his fists, the sheriff said.
No weapons were involved in the attack and Roof was able to return to his cell after being treated, Cannon said.
“The detention officer responded quickly and separated the two. The injuries that Roof received are relatively minor — some bruising around the face and the back. It appears he was struck with a fist and nothing more serious than that.”
Roof, who is being kept in protective custody because the nature of his alleged crimes could make him vulnerable to assault, said he did not want to press charges, Cannon said.
The attack brought praise on Twitter with calls for donations to Stafford’s jail commissary account.
Cannon gave no motivation for the beating. He said Stafford was able to attack Roof because guards had violated security procedures. Both guards weren’t on the floor of the unit and Stafford’s cell door was not checked to make sure it was secure before Roof was let out his cell, Cannon said.
