Only 4 Days Into 2007, We Already Have A PERFECT Candidate For 'Mother Of The Year'

Toddler Found Playing On Busy Highway

Indianapolis, Indiana -- Drivers swerved cars and trucks into other lanes to avoid a 3-year-old boy, wearing only a diaper and T-shirt, who was playing along a busy highway after wandering away from home while his mother slept, police said.

Some motorists stopped along Interstate 465 on the city's west side Saturday to take care of the boy until officers arrived, the Indiana State Police said.

"I looked up and I seen this little ... boy running down the middle of the slow lane in the interstate. I just could not believe what I was seeing," said Troy Crady, one of those who stopped to help.

The boy, Damon Dyer, was unscathed as at least a half-dozen cars and a tractor-trailer rig swerved into other lanes to avoid him. Temperatures were in the mid 50s as the boy ran around barefooted.

Police said they traced the toddler to an apartment at a nearby complex, where they found his mother, Nancy Dyer asleep in a filthy apartment and his 2-year-old sister eating spaghetti off the floor.

Dyer, 33, was arrested on two counts of child neglect and remained in custody Sunday, officials said.

Senior State Trooper Cedric Merritt said that when Dyer was told of her son's activities, she responded: "Oh, he got out again."

Investigators said the boy got out his second-story apartment, went down stairs and got around a fence to reach the highway about 200 yards away.

Child Protective Services took the boy and his sister into custody, and investigators said the agency also had been called to the apartment Thursday because the boy was outside unsupervised.

I just hate posting links to news stories because they usually disappear after a week or two, then they are archived and most sites expect you to PAY to access them...lame

Why shouldnt we have to have a license to have kids? I'm cloudy on that one...

You need a license to have a lemonade stand you should need a license to have kids damnit.

Most mothers instinctively become good parents AFTER their child is born and the bond is made. They might be crap at being a parent before hand so they might fail whatever test you would need to do to get a license, which would be stupid.

Unless the license was just determined on whether the house was good enough, the mother had an income, no drug addictions and things like that. Then I guess it would be an okay idea...

LMAO whatever. How about a basic IQ test to see if the parents atleast wouldn't dry the baby off in a microwave.
