The Daily Mail reports,
Police say a Massachusetts woman allowed her 2-year-old daughter to drink her margarita at a restaurant and poured some of it into the girl’s sippy cup.
Sheldy Nelson, 41, of Lynn, pleaded not guilty on Thursday to a child endangerment charge in Salem District court in connection with the August incident. She was held on $1,000 bond.
A waitress at Brodies Seaport told police Nelson ignored two warnings from staff to stop giving her daughter sips. Both the woman and girl appeared lethargic, and they were taken to a hospital.
Nelson allegedly told the waitress she was just pouring ice from her drink into her child’s cup but waitresses claim that they saw Nelson giving the girl sips from her drink.
The hospital found alcohol in the toddler’s system. Police found a sippy cup in Nelson’s bag that smelled of alcohol.
The girl is now state custody.
Parents like this absolutely disgust me. Some people really shouldn’t have children.
