FORT MYERS, Fla. — A 63-year-old woman blamed a great sale for the reason she left her small child locked inside a sweltering car for an hour.

Eileen Amy Politano, of North Fort Myers, Fla., was charged with felony child neglect Friday after leaving an 11-month-old girl in a car while she went into a grocery store.

Store employees said they saw the girl crying in the car and were able to rescue her before police arrived. Outside temperature were upward of 85 degrees.

Politano told police she intended to run into the store for a few minutes to buy some meat for dinner, but said there were too many specials to pass up.

When medical personnel asked Politano to give the child something to drink, she reportedly reached into her car and grabbed a bottle of spoiled formula.

Politano was released on $1,500 bond.

Formula? for an 11-month old? I think we've assumed the child to be hers; may not be the case.

Well.. the article speaks of it as "her child" in the first sentence.. but says "after leaving an 11-month-old girl in a car while she went into a grocery store..."

That doesn't make it sound like hers.... kinda odd.. how they worded it..

There are 50 and 60 year olds having kids now. I forgot what and how they do it. We talked about it on this board when I first joined.
