Zoykes. Unfortunately, drunk driving is an everyday thing around here. Someone's arrested nearly every day for this, but this woman really took it to another level. God Save Us All.

Poor child.

[newgeezer]

The woman also had an open beer in the car, officials said.

WOW, in her condidion, she might cause that beer to spill. Serious stuff in Wisconsin.

It's Jeb's fault!!! /sarcasm

(I think that will replace W's fault when something happens from now on :))

[GaltMeister]

I don't know about Wisconsin, but here in Tennessee, she would get an automatic 30 day jail on top of the DUI sentence because there was someone under 15 in the car.

TN don't play at all with DUI.

I thought that Beaver Dam was a form of birth control.

A 24-year-old Beaver Dam mother is in the Dane County Jail, accused of driving her car while drunk with her 1-week-old baby girl.

She should have drove an SUV. Then headline would have been an SUV drove drunk...

Do you actually think this is the first time something like this has ever happened, even in this little burg? It's despicable for sure, but not new, we live in an information age that nothing that's agenda driven escapes our attention.

I would go farther to state, it probably happens even less than it used to because of America's shifting attitude about drinking & driving or is it driving & drinking.

[Rutles4Ever]

Perhaps we should euthanize the child. Why would any child want to grow up with an alcoholic parent? Someone needs to speak up for that poor child and starve it to death.

[Idisarthur]

Darwin Award?

Prayers.

[AppyPappy]

She was cited for having open beer in the car, not having a seat belt on the baby, driving the wrong way on a divided highway and using unauthorized plates

Ah, a victimless crime. Where are the Libertarians to defend this woman from the drunk driving warriors?

A 24-year-old Beaver Dam mother

Well, at 24 can she really be expected to be held accountable for her actions.

After all, she is still in "transitional adulthood".

[Fast1]

Ah what can you do with a Kennedy supporter?

[Petronski]

...while drunk with her 1-week-old baby girl.

That's a little young to be getting drunk with your parents.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, today at the top of each hour our local news radio has been playing a clip from a social worker/therapist-type that we are supposed to go EASY on her because she's probably suffering from Post Traumatic Birth Disorder.

I'm quite curious about her living situation. It was nearly 2am on Easter when she pulled this stunt with the 3x the legal limit drunk driving on the wrong side of a DIVIDED highway with her unsecured 1 week old baby in the car.

Sorry. Call me insensitive, but I'm having one heckuva time finding any sympathy for her behavior. (She is still in jail, thank goodness!)
