BRADENTON — Authorities say a 1-year-old girl was found wandering in the street in Bradenton after her mother left her home alone.
Authorities say 33-year-old Martha Navis-Torres told deputies her 1-year-old daughter was sleeping when she left for about 15 minutes to pick up her son from school Monday afternoon.
A witness told deputies the infant stood in the middle of the street while cars swerved around the girl and honked their horns.
Navis-Torres was arrested and charged with child neglect. She was released after posting $1,000 bail.

My gosh - the stupidity of some people!!! So true rhinohoof - we would be the ones paying for any treatment for injuries, etc. if something would have happened. This country needs to DO SOMETHING about this situation - think about these things come November - illegal immigration and health care!!!! And yes! Why didn't someone stop and see what was going on?

I think NDN isn't allowing the e-mail links any more. You clink on their name and it says 'contact this person' but it doesn't go through.

AnotherPOV makes a good point, and its that very thinking and attitude of people that has unraveled the morales, compassion and decency of the country. Sure every now and again you hear of a heroic deed, but they are few and far between.

I've known of people to stop when they see a dog, guess a baby does not rate. Those who drove by this child are as bad, if not worse, than the mother.
