What a heartbreaking mugshot. A
homeless single mom, 35 year old Shanesha Taylor, who struggled to make ends meet is in jail after
she left her two sons, a 2 year old and 6 month old in her car while she went on a job interview.
Madamenoire.com reports...
The
Scottsdale, Ariz. native
was arrested after she left her young sons in a hot
SUV that was locked with the windows cracked as she went for a job
interview at an insurance company. A passerby heard Taylor’s youngest child crying and called police. When
they arrived, Taylor returned to her car 45 minutes after police got to
the scene, and when police arrested her, the two boys were reportedly
“crying and sweating profusely.” Taylor told police that she was
homeless and needed the work, and because she couldn’t find someone to
watch her kids, she had to take them with her. This event occurred on
March 20. Continue...
The response to her story has been split, with some people saying
that while she did make a mistake, she was simply trying to find work to
feed her kids. Others say, she left two kids in a hot car, it’s wrong,
dangerous, and she should have known better. Well, those in support of
Taylor have actually set up a fundraising campaign on YouCaring.com
to help raise money for Taylor and her kids, who are in the custody of
Child Protective Services at this time as she awaits charges. The goal
was only $9,000, which according to the person who set up the
fundraising campaign, Amanda Bishop, would be put into an account for
her family. However, the fundraiser has brought in a whopping $63,000.
Taylor
is still in jail while her children remain in protective custody.
Was she wrong to leave her kids in the car to go look for a job? What's your thoughts on this?
