MARATHON, Fla — Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.{via foxnews.com}
Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.
The grandmother was released from jail 15 hours later.
The woman said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.
Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.
She faces charges of child abuse. The child is back with her mother.
OK. Now what image do you get in your mind when you read this story? I'm thinking of a purple haired crazy woman in an older model Buick with her arm out the window holding onto her tiny granddaughter who is precariously sitting on the edge of the roof. And I am thinking that this women needs some serious help because she is OBVIOUSLY loco!

This is why you can not believe what you hear or read until you have done your part to dig a little deeper. And if you can't dig a little deeper or don't want to - just don't ASSUME! In my opinion - this goes for everything that is reported on! Human interest stories, politics, character assassinations... Everything!
Poor judgment on her part - maybe. Criminal - not even!
