Four-Year-Old Found Wandering on Major Highway in Outside Washington, D.C.
Published: Jul 27, 2005 FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) - A mother was under arrest Wednesday on child endangerment and other charges after authorities said she abandoned her 4-year-old son on the Capital Beltway, then struck him with her car when he tried to get back in.
The boy was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises, police said. He later was placed in the custody of a child protective services agency.
Police picked him up after receiving a call late Tuesday night from motorist who said she had found a child wandering along Interstate 495.
"I said, 'Why are you out here?' And he said, 'My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,'" the driver, who asked not to be identified, told WJLA-TV.
Virginia State Police said an investigation determined that Channoah Alece Green, 22, of Newport News, Va., abandoned the boy along the busy highway after she became upset with him.
"As she attempted to drive off, the child was trying to get back in the vehicle and was knocked down," said Sgt. J.L. Doss. That led to a hit and run charge.
State police said they found Green and were able to figure out that she was the child's mother after she was involved in a two-car accident on Interstate 95 north of Richmond, Va., later Tuesday night.

OMG!
WTF. Just damn. Unfrickbelievable. That about covers it for me.
Druggie, no doubt.
CPS will probably give the kid back to this woman.
But no apology to the couple who photographed the dad playing motorboat/rasberry on his baby's belly and spent six months in jail --- with all the kids away for 11 months.
Channoah Alece? I wonder if she has a mother named Eczema or a sister named Female (pronounced "Fu-Ma-lay').
"State police said they found Green and were able to figure out that she was the child's mother after she was involved in a two-car accident on Interstate 95 north of Richmond, Va., later Tuesday night."
It could be. She might have been high as a kite. I hope this child is never returned to her custody.
Somebody get a rope Just Daaaammmn!
One word.
Alcohol.
Any bets?
And how long before he is reunited with his 'mother'.
Very true, BUT, this poor kid will most likely have very long lasting emotional scars from this to say the least.
That poor kid.
That poor child was just lucky she didn't venture across the George Washington Bridge. Helen Thomas lives underneath it and she can smell a small child from very far away..
This is what capital punishment is for.
I do that to my grandkids all the time, they love it. I never knew you could get jail for it.
Scary, but true:

Looks like someone didn't hear "Shenandoah" correctly -- or didn't know how to spell it.
