When a grandmother is irresponsible with their grandchildren sometimes you don’t know whether to blame her or the mother for even allowing it to happen. A grandmother was recently arrested for going out drinking and leaving behind her 1-year-old granddaughter with a soda and pizza.
It’s almost hilarious, but a 1-year-old being left alone is nothing to laugh about. The bar-hopping grandma, Stacey Shannon, from Pittsburgh was arrested on Thursday. The child’s mother called police after not being able to reach her in over 17 hours. If that was my child, I would have driven to that house myself way before waiting 17 hours.
Police responded to the grandmother’s apartment where they found the child alone and asleep on a couch. Shannon allegedly walked in, around 1:15 a.m. on Thursday, and admitted to police that she had been out drinking and didn’t know how long she’d left the child unattended. She has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
