The boys are now in custody of their grandfather. When the grandfather was interviewed it sounded like he no intention of bonding his daughter out of jail. The five-year-old simply said "My mommy is in jail."
Grandpa seemed like an ok guy....

The car speeding around the corner near Wendy Barrett's Lafayette home, its tires screeching, wasn't driven by someone running late before it made a abrupt stop near her driveway. "I saw a toddler at the wheel and another toddler on the console. I said, 'Ma'am, are you letting your toddler drive?' She said, 'Yes. He's a good driver,'" said Barrett. He's got a future in NASCAR.

I’d like to quibble with the headline. Having a child does not make one a mother. Being a mother involves a hell of a lot more work than just giving birth.

I said, 'Ma'am, are you letting your toddler drive?' She said, 'Yes. He's a good driver,'" He may not know all of the rules of the road but he doesn't talk on a cellphone when he drives.

Far more than “one brich shy of a load.” “Schobrichs at all, oshifer.”

Moderately Guilty.

Her arrest comes just four days into probation after pleading guilty to DUI. Officers also allegedly found a large bottle of over- the-counter sleeping pills recently purchased and nearly consumed. "These children were placed in great danger by the person who legally should be providing the care and protection of them," said Patrick Harrington, Tippecanoe County prosecutor.
Police say Schnobrich endangered her children and anyone on the road near their car Saturday night.
It would seem that even if she didn't own a car (no DUI charge, no children driving charge) she'd still be incapacitated as a caregiver and guardian by consuming a bottle of sleeping pills. But that isn't considered "endangerment".

Not singling you out, but I hate articles like this because there is no way to tell where the incident occurred.
There are probably twenty Lafayettes in the USA - so I click through to the site to find out more info and the site doesn't identify which state either, so you have to click through multiple articles on the source site to piece together where in the country this happened.
IN in this case.

Moderately Guilty. Yeah, it's hard to say. She might clean up well.

I heard about this on our local radio station’s Morons In The News segment. The mother definitely qualified from what I heard. I am glad the boys are ok.
