Child left alone; foster mom facing charges
THE CLARION-LEDGER • MARCH 24, 2010
A Jackson woman was arrested today for allegedly leaving her young foster son at home alone while she went out of town on a business trip.
Sharon Robinson, 33, is charged with felony child neglect, according to the Jackson Police Department’s arrest docket.
Robinson’s 9-year-old foster son was alone for more than 24 hours, Hinds County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Henry Glaze said.
“This wasn’t a matter of a couple of minutes or even a couple of hours,” Glaze said.
Authorities were notified by neighbors after the boy went to them complaining of hunger.
Robinson is being held at the Hinds County Detention Center. Bond has not been set.
The child has been placed in the custody of the Department of Human Service.
