Apparently, the grieving wife had left her two-year-old and five-month-old babies unattended in a hotel room.
A spokesperson for the NYPD’s public information office told Variety that “police responded to a 911 call at 11 p.m. that evening, reporting ‘unattended children’ at 50 Vanderbilt Avenue in Manhattan. That address houses The Yale Club, a members-only hotel.”
“Police said a preliminary investigation ‘revealed that a 2-year-old female and a 5-month-old female were left alone inside of a hotel room for an extended period of time,'” the report added.
Veronica Tejera was reportedly given a desk ticket that will require her to appear in criminal court.
this sounds more like a case of mental collapse on the mother. husband has a heart attack and grief causes neglect of the child.
The first thing a mon does is to abandon her babies when given bad news? Not buying it....
Probably not, BUT I have seen crazy things people have done under severe emotional stress. Typically those people were already pretty damaged, then a traumatic event happens, and major meltdown ensues.
I mean it's not super uncommon or out of the realm of possibility. When something like this happens, people have neglected their children, turned to drugs, etc.
It happens.
That's how I read it as well.
No. Not in my wildest grief would I forget the safety of my children. There is something amiss me thinks!
no family? no friends?...or another casey anthony?
No. Don't buy that at all. The natural human reaction when confronted with grief is to hug your children, or other loved ones, for comfort. If you don't have anyone near, you will even curl up in a ball and hug yourself. Even in a mental collapse I don't believe that instinct will disappear. You would have to be callous and hate the children not to want to be close to them.
