**Crazy story, right?** In Arizona, police shared a jaw-dropping tale about a mom who zoomed away with her *five-week-old baby* left sitting in its car seat on the roof of her car! As the car turned, the car seat tumbled into the intersection. Neighbors quickly swooped in to rescue the baby, thankfully unhurt. Meanwhile, the mom, who police reported being *under the influence of marijuana* at another spot, didn’t even realize her baby was missing. It’s unreal how things can go sideways when you’re not paying attention, isn’t it? Keep reading for more eye-opening stories!

The driver, 19-year-old Catalina Clouser, was released from jail  Sunday morning after being charged with child abuse and aggravated DUI. She admitted to police she had been upset that her boyfriend had been arrested the night before (also on DUI charges) and had been smoking marijuana with her friends.

The baby has since been placed in the care of Child Protective Services and Clouser will likely have to complete drug and alcohol treatment and possibly serve jail time before being reunited with her child. Defensive driving or not, if your child is sitting on the roof of your car, somebody is going to get hurt.

Phoenix police Officer James Holmes said officers responded to a call of a baby strapped into a car seat lying in the middle of the road at 45th Avenue and Cholla Street around 1 a.m Saturday.

“The woman who found him and I were just crying our eyes out,” said a Leilani Gerlach who lives on the corner where the baby was found. “How can someone forget their baby?

The infant was taken to a local hospital to be checked over and is OK, Holmes said.

As police investigated at the scene, two witnesses, identified as friends of the suspect and her boyfriend, walked up and began to talk with officers.

The friends told officers the baby belonged to Clouser.

Holmes said while officers were talking to the friends, Clouser drove back to the scene.
