Williamsburg, Virginia (The Weekly Vice) -- Alexis McGuire, a 19-year-old Williamsburg woman was charged with felony child neglect after she allegedly abandoned her 8-week-old infant in an unlocked car while she went shopping at Wal-Mart.
McGuire left the baby alone in an unlocked, running vehicle on Christmas Eve and then proceeded to shop inside an area Wal-Mart located on Rochambeau Drive in York County, according to York-Poquoson Sheriff's office spokesperson Mike Russell.
A York-Poquoson Sheriff's deputy discovered the child in the backseat of McGuire's Chrysler sedan after checking it because it was parked in a fire lane. He then waited with the child for about 5 minutes before the woman exited the store.
McGuire was booked into the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail on a charge of felony child neglect. She was released later the same day after posting a $10,000 bond. The child was released to his father, who was called to the scene.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Parked in a fire lane, engine running, doors unlocked, right in front of a Wal-Mart with a baby in the car. All she was missing was the sign that said "Two for one special. Steal a car, get a baby free!"
If this child makes it to his teens, it will be a miracle.

I know someone who did the same thing, car running, toddler left alone, and parked in the firelane while she went shopping. Her attitude is, "if the damn cop had been minding his own business, I never would have gotten in trouble".
What rocks do people like these crawl from?
Nothing will happen to her. She'll claim she is being bullied and that she was only in the store for 5 minutes. Some people miss the point completely. Now I know why so many children are abducted.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, these people who do this must go to the Kate and Gerry McCann school of parenting, where leaving your children alone is "with-in the realm of responsible parenting".
And as soon as their kid vanishes they cry "send me money to find my kid".
Hey evidently you can leave your child in the car in Ohio until they die. Two white collar woman left their children in their cars in the Cincinnati area until they were killed by the heat and not charged with neglect or anything. Apparently if you are white and a professional in Ohio you can "forget" to drop your child off at day care. And you don't even get a slap on the wrist.

Give her the benefit of the doubt!
Maybe it was a really great sale...LOL
Ok so I went to school with this girl n when I saw this because I was searching her on google I didn't believe it then I saw the mugshot I thought I would fill u in on a secret she has pics posted of her and her children on her facebook now tell me if its sick or not she should never be able to see them again but the law doesn't serve any justice for children that's why unfit parents get to keep their kids until they end up doing something ungodly
she should learn morals from mistakes
she should learn her child is more important then trying to get a deal on items at Wal-mart. I know her and shes nothing but a sleazy slag. Child I will pray for you.
she was returning a movie to red box.... it was right next to the entrance....
and the car was parked in front of the window by red box at the entrance.... she could see the car behind the window the whole time
it was cold and snowing and icy out.... so she thought it best to leave the kid in the warm car.
all of you should get hit by a bus for making assumptions.
i know this girl.... she is a very good mother....
she raises her sons to respect them selves and stand up for them slves...
unlike other mothers who brain wash there sons to be slaves that should pay for womens dinners and crap....
she is a good mother who teaches her sons to be Real men who stand up for them slves and have Self respect.
this girl is 10X the women of most girls i know.
me and my sister was left in the car a thosend times as a kid..... we lived.
She is a good mom. Everyone makes mistakes in their life and she obviously did too when she was a young mother now she grew up and is raising two kids by herself I would say she is a good mom who grew up.
