Alcoholic Mother Drinks Entire Bottle of Vodka and Forgets to Pick Up Kids from School

In the early afternoon of March, officers received a phone call from a local school stating that a child hadn't been picked up by their parents. The school was very concerned and wanted to do a welfare check on the mother. Numerous phone calls were made to the mother by the school staff, who heard loud music and noticed that the mother seemed to be drunk due to her slurred words over the phone. Officers then responded to get to the bottom of the situation.

Now the county will receive another 10k from the feds for taking the child. Remember It's always about money at the end of the day.

There's a way to get through to people, that's not it. Unfortunately cops don't seem to care about actually helping people

[@wretchedrabbit]

@@kmm4499 unless they are being verbally abusive and calling her profane names... i believe it is perfectly acceptable for them to make remarks such as "you're embarrassing". she is absolutely embarrassing and she should hear it from whoever is willing to tell her. obviously there isnt anyone in her life willing to so why not the officer? its not like he called her a piece of shit or a fucking worthless mother or something... which to be honest... worthless mother would have been what i would have called her since she would rather get trashed than be responsible for her childs wellbeing. and who are you to cast moral judgment on how the officer speaks to her? if she had picked up her kid from school she could have got into a accident and potentially killed her child in the process. now here is my moral judgment on you because i can... you speak of cops as though they are not human beings with families or children themselves. you act like there was actually a way to get through to this woman, like her son hasnt been dealing with her problem long enough to be indifferent while explaining her condition. the rudest thing they said was what you quoted which is nothing compared to what i had a cop say to me when he had me look at myself in the mirror when i was 17 (tx legal age of consent so treated as adult) and started belittling my appearance and my character which he had nothing to base on. during which i was completely respectful and cooperative with them not to mention honest about my situation. and who gives a shit if the kid watched... he is old enough to know his mom is a mess and a danger to his wellbeing... hell he probably stomps on the car floor often when she drives hoping for a magical break peddle when she drives. "Unfortunately cops dont seem to care about actually helping people."???? do you only watch videos where cops are being tyrants? have you never seen videos which there are so many more of than negative of officers doing anything and everything possible to help or save people from countless dangerous, horrific or deadly incidents? even when off duty they step up and take action when needed and are able. the fact that you believe (your generalized blanketing of cops) all cops are object/tools instead of human beings like we all are, and that they dont care about helping people just tells me you got caught at some point doing something stupid, didnt get away with it... subscribe to too many cop hating ideologies because its "cool" to be trendy... or you are just too ignorant to comprehend or understand that "helping people" isnt their primary job function but more oftan than not they are helping those who matter. i guess you dont see how they helped that little boy... i guess you probably dont think shooting an armed attacker is helping or perhaps rushing into a active shooting and not asking the gunman if he would like to speak with a licensed counselor while surrounded by numerous dead bodies man woman and child while others are still in danger... but instead ending the threat as soon as possible isnt helping people. cops arent social workers. social workers rarely save lives. in fact often times social workers destroy or end lives due to incompetence or just plain disregard of claims, indicators or potential of someone's capabilities. do you know how many children have been killed or physically assaulted (including sexually) due to child welfare workers failures at doing the bare minimum? even growing up being around drugs and crime and cop haters such as yourself. i am so glad i know how to evaluate a situation without automatically labelling a cop as a bad person or some dumb shit like that. i hope one day you grow up and realize how ignorant that type of ideology and attitude toward law enforcement is a huge problem. hell, it may even be why there are more cops acting like tyrants... because people such as yourself... think less of them and give them shit just for being cops. even cops have bad days... but at least as a whole... they do 100% more than you probably do for the community and will continue to do so even after dealing with fucking dipshits like you. try not being part of the problems in the country and open your fucking eyes for more than just negatives. ignorance should be painful maybe then more people would actually put effort into not being willfully stupid. cant wait for the day stupid stops being so trendy...

“She doesn’t know time right now”, That little boy is so used to his mother being drunk all the time that he’s accustomed to making excuses for her behavior. That is not something a child should be used to. He deserves far better. A child deserves a stable environment with supportive parents- who don’t choose to get black out drunk in the middle of the day when they have to pick up their child from school later. The alcohol is more important to her than her child. My heart breaks for that little boy. And she has the gd nerve to act indignant to the officer’s questions and saying she’s not drunk when she doesn’t have a voice (it can happen when they pass out and throw up on themselves because the stomach acid eats at the throat), she’s got vomit all over herself, and she can barely walk straight. She keeps screaming that she’s only 11 minutes late, babe, it’s 4 something.

[@kingbadmovie]

So a little bit of a story: I grew up with a bit of a similar mother. There were many times where I'd take the bus home and have to ring the doorbell and pound on the door to wake her up to let me in. Other times I'd wait for her to pick me up only to have to have the office call her to pick me up. I guess the office was getting concerned and she picked up on that so she told me not to go to the office anymore. One day, she was supposed to pick me up but forgot again. I remembered her telling me not to go to the office, so I walked home alone at 8 years old. I got home, rang the doorbell and knocked on the door to no avail. Keep in mind, we live in the southwest, and in the late afternoon it gets to over 100F outside, and I just walked a good mile home with a heavy backpack on. Desperate to get inside, I climbed off some electrical boxes on the side of our house and hopped the wall to get into the backyard, hoping she forgot to lock the back door. Unfortunately it was locked so I went back around to the front and waited under a tree. Finally she came home and punished me pretty harshly for embarrassing her in front of the school staff. After that, I was sent to my room (wasn't even given water). A while later there were police in front of my house (my room oversaw the front yard) and my dad came home where there was a lot of shouting and arguing downstairs. About a month later my parents were divorced with my dad getting majority custody. Dad drank too, but he worked so he would drink in the evenings. I just learned to steer clear from him after 8pm and be extra quiet before noon. Apparently she got a DUI when I was in high-school and had to remain sober. I definitely noticed a change in her behavior, but didn't know what it was, only that she was grouchy and bossy. Looking back I think she just took that time to take her job as a mother seriously, but I just thought she was bullying me as I delt with a mother who was often negligent and overly emotional from her drinking for my entire childhood. To this day, my grandmother, sister, and uncle (her family) barely talk or visit with her. I visit occasionally, but it's difficult as every time I visit there's going to be an hour or so of her desperately apologizing for her actions when she drank, and it can be draining to endure. Dad never quit drinking and died of liver failure a few years back. When cleaning out his property, his house was full of hidden empty and partially empty liquor bottles and his truck had wine bottles hidden throughout. A takeaway from this is children have no frame of reference as to what's normal and what's not. If you grow up in a house of alcoholics, you assume that's just how things are. Loud fighting at night, parents forgetting obligations, having to repeat things over and over to them as they don't remember the first dozen times, having to be quiet early in the morning, learning to feed yourself before kindergarten, hiding things from police, teachers, and your friends' parents, all of that and more are normal when that's all you know. I remember sleeping over at a friend's house in 2nd grade and thinking his house was weird because not only did his mom make us breakfast, but we were allowed to talk at a normal volume and his dad was up and doing work on the pool *before* 10am. I was never allowed to have sleepovers at my house. Another takeaway is that when an alcoholic parent sobers up and stays sober later in life, they sometimes are filled with regret and shame for years after. Not always, but that's been my experience. Sorry for the long comment, just thought I should share. At the very least, it helps me to write it down.

I'm an alcoholic. And as much as I want children in the future, this is exactly why I don't have any now. I already know I can't be responsible for a child with how incredibly irresponsible I am with alcohol. I do want to get better. And I do seek help. Last time I was sober it was only 4 months and I relapsed. I need to get better, because of the damage to my liver and kidneys. My time is running out. Prayers for anyone else struggling with alcohol. Its one hell of a drug once you're hooked.

This is one of the saddest things I've seen in a long time. I feel so sorry for the poor kid. No child should ever have to live with this. With one of the few people they're supposed to trust without thinking destroying themselves. I really hope this woman is able to get clean and improve for herself and her son.

It's a job for social services not the cops. Force her into rehab or else the child goes to foster care. How traumatising for the poor child - and this wasnt the first time either.

Every child deserves parents, but not all parents deserve children.

Hearing those child’s cries for his mom was heartbreaking

[@Tammy-td5ok]

I know a mother like that, she drank so she didn’t have to be responsible for the children. She drank beer and smoked all day. Sad situation

[@justinthegreat6351]

She talks like I talk in my dreams when I’m trying to ask for help or in danger 😂😂😂 the words won’t come out but I’m trying so hard to speak 🗣️
