Forgetful mom leaves 1-month old alone in Sears for 90 minutes

Categories: Places To Go, Health & Safety, Media

Christina L. Ferschke of Port St. Lucie, Florida went shopping at Sears with her 1-month-old son, poked around the baby department, finished shopping, got in her car and drove home. 70 minutes later she returned to the store to get her son, who she claims she forgot.

A review of the store's video tapes showed Ferschke entering the store about 4:07 p.m. She placed a 911 call from her car about 70 minutes later and a store employee located the infant in a car seat on his shopping cart in the store's baby section about 5:42 p.m. That means the baby was alone for more than 90 minutes. Ferschke "insisted that she had no recollection of the time from when she was looking at baby items to the time she called 911," the police report states. The baby was unharmed.

Either that is one quiet baby, or this woman is nuts.
