My SD Moms Support is building this morning for a woman who left her baby strapped to a shopping cart in a parking lot.
Cherish Peterson, a mother of four young kids, said she was horrified to realize she drove off from a grocery store in Arizona last week without her two-month-old son and since then, there’s been a roller coaster reaction on social media, reports CBS News correspondent Elaine Quijano.
The incident happened in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert, on a day when the high temperature was 104 degrees.
Peterson returned to the grocery store to look for her baby after about 40 minutes, but she didn’t notice he was missing until she had finished her errands and driven all the way home.
“As I was pulling into the garage, my 3-year-old-goes, ‘Where is baby Huxton?’ I turned around and looked and realized he was gone,” Peterson said.
She told CBS Phoenix Affiliate KPHO she was distracted by two of her kids and forgot her son, who was still in the cart.
“Normally, I put my cart away, but I didn’t need to because I parked at the front of the store, and I never park there. And I drove away,” Peterson said.
