FORT MYERS, Fla. — A 63-year-old woman blamed a great sale for the reason she left her small child locked inside a sweltering car for an hour.
Eileen Amy Politano, of North Fort Myers, Fla., was charged with felony child neglect Friday after leaving an 11-month-old girl in a car while she went into a grocery store.
Store employees said they saw the girl crying in the car and were able to rescue her before police arrived. Outside temperature were upward of 85 degrees.
Politano told police she intended to run into the store for a few minutes to buy some meat for dinner, but said there were too many specials to pass up.
When medical personnel asked Politano to give the child something to drink, she reportedly reached into her car and grabbed a bottle of spoiled formula.
Politano was released on $1,500 bond."
Whoa nellie. In Googling for the oldest woman to give birth, I find that the old record of 63 was bested by a 67 year-old Romanian woman, so what's up with this story anyway? The fact that she left the baby in the car is monstrous if true as reported upon, but why didn't anyone pick up on the fact that at 63 she was a wee bit OLD to have an 11 month baby around? Was this even her kid at all? Called a cousin in Fort Myers and asked if the local yokels were up to snuff as far as investigating this story, and he's still laughing so who knows.
