An Indiana mother has been jailed after she was caught traveling across the city of Indianapolis with her crying two-month-old twins in a milk crate strapped to her bicycle.
Blossum Kirby, 36, will spend a year behind bars after being convicted of neglect of a dependent for her actions.
Multiple people called 911 when they saw Kirby traveling across Indianapolis with the infants in a milk crate that was attached to the front of her bicycle in July 2022.
Some say they saw the mother nearly fall off the bike as the babies sat in the plastic box during the scorching summer heat.
When police stopped her, Kirby told them she always transported her children that way - because she did not have a car, court documents stated.
The kids were just wearing diapers in the mid 80s summer sunshine, and the crate was being held on by a bungee cord, pictures showed.
The babies, one boy and one girl, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children and treated for sunburns and minor scratches.
Brian Henderson, who witnessed the ordeal, said that he first thought the two children were dolls until he saw one of the twin's arms moving.
He shared a video at the time, and was heard saying: 'You can’t have those babies in there like that, ma’am.'
Suezanne Lynch had also seen Kirby transporting the children in the crate, and told Fox 59: 'She had told me that prior to me stopping her, she had one baby in the front and one baby in the back.

Without more information, I can’t make a judgment such as that.
I will concede that I have been seeing a number of panhandlers at intersections and Wally world. Some look prosperous, some do not.
I usually give to a charity organization - not directly to the panhandlers. Too easy to misread who you are dealing with.
Thank you. But close enough, as one says in hand grenades and horseshoes.
She has that look of a drug addict. She might be better off at a rehab facility for a year. Wherever she is, her children will suffer all their lives for being deprived of their birth mother their first year of life. Ask me how I know.
okay it was a stupid action....but stupid does not mean a year in prison....
That was Corporal Cue ball as Rush Limbaugh use to call him.
AKA James Carville.
Judge, jury and executioner.
Yes, CPS is a ticket to pedophilic pleasure for sick people.
FIFY
you’re right. Everybody who can’t afford kids should be crankin’ them out. The state will take care of them, so why would it matter? That makes perfect sense.
Happy now?
It makes perfect sense - especially when the state will pay YOU to have more kids. And bonus dollars if you don’t have a husband. What could go wrong!?
i don’t know, it seems many freepers think this is the way to go though.
Thanks. I had completely forgotten Rush called Carville “Cue Ball.” I just remember Rush calling him “Snakehead.” Ah, to have Rush back with us......
Something wrong with living in a mobile home ummm
I see your point..Thanks
