Not exactly Mother of the Year

Woman jailed after daughter found abandoned in forest

And this, kids, is why parenthood should be a privilege instead of a right....

JASPER -- An woman is in an East Texas jail after authorities said her 6-year-old daughter was found abandoned in the Piney Woods.

Angelina County sheriff's deputies said a passerby found the girl alone off State Highway 63 in the Angelina National Forest near Lake Sam Rayburn.

The girl told deputies that her mother told her they were going to play hide-and-seek, but when the girl got out of her car, her mother drove away.

Angelina County deputies said they found the mother drinking beer at a Sam Rayburn Lake bar. She's in the Angelina County Jail in Lufkin, while her daughter has been turned over to child-welfare authorities.

The mother was found having a beer in a bar. Nice, eh? And these types of irresponsible morons are the ones who see having children as their inalienable right. You need a license to carry a gun, fish, hunt, or own a business, but any idiot with the necessary and operational accoutrements can have a child? At times like this, that seems horribly, horribly wrong.
