[Ebon]

I wonder if they were cooking meth in the car.

Oh wait, this gets better. The kids were playing with fire. In a stolen vehicle. FCOL.

Cops say mom was SHOPLIFTING when her car burst into flames

Alicia Moore, 24, from Florida was arrested after leaving her two young children unattended in her car at a shopping mall parking lot near Orlando when the car suddenly caught on fire.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The pair are alleged to have browsed the shops at Oviedo Mall, in Oviedo northeast of Orlando, stealing items as they went.

But the couple were caught out when Moore's car, which police later learned was a stolen vehicle, was parked up and suddenly ignited, quickly becoming engulfed in flames outside the Dillard's department store.

Officials say that Moore had either left a lighter or a set of matches inside the car which the children played with, triggering the fire.

What a terrible parent, those poor kids. I'm curious what in the car is that flammable.

What a terrible parent, those poor kids. I'm curious what in the car is that flammable.

I'm going with them cooking meth, which can be done without active flames if you have the right chemicals.

hope the kids are placed somewhere safe

Am I reading the charges right... does that mean she's been booked for elder abuse?

I wonder if the car was taken by force from an older friend or relative?

Replying to my own post (sorry I’m a newbie and still learning the basics of posting). This hit close to home as I often shop at this Dillard’s, and even park at the same lot area. This is suburban Orlando. What’s with all these children being left in cars on a hot summer Florida day, much less leaving them while the mother goes shoplifting for an hour per the store’s security officer?

Welcome to WS. It's rampant seems like the last few years. This woman is something else. Bad enough to leave the kids in the car period but while off committing a crime??

 

[PayrollNerd]

Who was the male and was he arrested also? Did he arrive in the car with her & the kids?

 

[tlcya]

as to battery of elder person there may have been someone in the store that attempted to stop her while shoplifting and was assaulted by this fine upstanding mother.

Thanks Payroll, I did a search before I posted but didn’t mention the woman’s name so I didn’t see your post. Sorry for the dupe.
