The woman charged with abandoning her toddler on the side of the Capital Beltway is cooling her heels in the Fairfax County jail. Channoah Alece Green, 22, was scheduled to appear in court yesterday on charges of felony child neglect and hit and run, but officials said she was transferred too late from a regional jail in Hanover. Miss Green is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. today in Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court to be arraigned on the felony charges. Virginia State Police said Miss Green, of Newport News, Va., left her 4-year-old son on the side of the Beltway near Falls Church at about 10 p.m. Tuesday. Police said that as the boy tried to get back into the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer, his mother bumped him with the car and knocked him down as she drove away, leading to the hit-and-run charge. A driver who asked not to be identified found the boy on the interstate near the Lee Highway overpass and told WJLA-TV (Channel 7) that the toddler jumped into her husband's arms. "I said, 'Why are you out here?' And he said, 'My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,' " the woman said.

Leaving the kid MIGHT have saved him worse injuries, considering her wreck farther down the road. Any bets whether the poor boy was restrained in the car before she dumped him?
(Silver linings, disguised blessings....)
Now, hang the crack ho, and let the boy have a decent family...and I don't mean the relatives who helped "raise" his mamma.
That thing that gave birth to this child needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.
Kids - they just don't listen anymore...
"And he said, 'My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,' " the woman said."
Thats a tough kid. He must be used to abuse from his mom. Most kids that age would be crying too hard to be understood.
