Teen Mom Pleas For Her Daughter

On August 13, 2008 at around 2 a.m. A teen mom who goes by the name Keilani Chaves who is 16 years old was arrested for leaving her 1 month old daughter at home alone with no adult supervision around. Cops said that she left around 2 am and didn't return until 11 am the next morning. She also argued saying that she didn't abandon her daughter at all, she said her mother was home at the time, but wasn't. The deal that was made between Keilani and the courts was that she would have to complete a parenting-skills class within a year. If she completes it in a year the misdemeanor concviction will be dismissed and she will be sentenced as a youthful offender. This is a very serious case to me. The reason why I say this is because you have the responsibility to carry a child for 9 months give birth and yet still be able to leave that child home alone so you can go out all hours of the night. I think it was morally wrong to leave such a young child at young without any adult supervision. Anything could happen at any time and it would be on her hands and she would have to live with the guilt that she left her child home alone. Women should think twice about having children, if they can't handle the responsibility of taking care of a child then they shouldn't have a child until they are good and ready.
