  1. Seriously, WTH is wrong with some of these people!??? 1st, she looks a hot mess 2) inebriated 3) child not even buckled up???? Come on lady. Do better for yourself, your kids, and society. We have enough tragedy in our county. Be the difference by doing the right things….not the wrong things.

  2. That breaks my heart for the child. She probably was raised in a grap environment with non caring adults herself.
