Mom thrown in jail after waitress reported her for breastfeeding while drinking has defended her decision to have a beer

An Arkansas mother who was arrested in a restaurant for breastfeeding her baby after having two beers has defended her decision to have a drink. Mother-of-three Tasha Adams had been at a Conway restaurant with her family for dinner in November when an off-duty waitress reported her to police for consuming alcohol. Adams, 28, was arrested for child endangerment and taken to jail, and her six-month-old baby Ana was left in the care of her family. Charges against Adams were dropped last week because there wasn't enough evidence to prove she had been too drunk to care for her child. But the 28-year-old told ABC's 20/20she wishes the police had given her a breathalyzer test at the restaurant to prove she hadn't endangered her baby. 'If I’m drunk, I feel, you know, that I’m not able to take care of my kids,' Adams said. 'I wish they would’ve given me a breathalyzer so it could be proven.' Adams, a florist from Toad Suck, had stopped off at the Gusano's Pizzeri...

Pregnant mom who 'drove kids into ocean' smiles as she's allowed to remain in hospital psychiatric unit until she's fit to return to jail

A pregnant South Carolina woman accused of driving her car into the ocean with her three children on board will be allowed to receive in-hospital psychiatric care until a doctor says she's fit to return to jail. Ebony Wilkerson, 32, was given the news during a 10-minute bond hearing Tuesday in Daytona Beach. It was a continuation of a hearing that began last week, however, Judge Leah Case wanted to hear more testimony before making a decision as to whether she required more mental health care. Wilkerson's defense attorneys also agreed to withdraw a request to reduce her $1.2 million bond on six felony charges — including attempted murder. They can refile it later. Wilkerson will also receive prenatal care and be allowed supervised exercise time. Last week, a Florida court heard that Wilkerson tried to harm her unborn child as well as her three children. The pregnant woman was seen ‘beating her stomach with her fists’ after her arrest, it was claimed in a bond hearing. The 32-ye...
