A Utah mother who faces child abandonment charges after leaving her eight-year-old son in a hospital defended her actions in an interview.
Kathy Sherrer, 36, of Salt Lake City, left her son in a Salt Lake City hospital in February with a note pinned to his back: “This kid is rude and ungovernable! I do not want him in my house at all!”
She was arrested and charged last week with child abandonment, a third-degree felony; and child abuse, a class A misdemeanor.
You don't get to arbitrarily drop children off at certain institutions.
