Prison for Mother of Tot Found wandering on I-465 while she slept


INDIANAPOLIS - A woman who slept while her 3-year-old boy went outside and wandered onto a busy four-lane highway was sentenced Tuesday to a year in prison for child neglect.
Marion Superior Court Judge Lisa Borges scolded Nancy Dyer before sentencing her, saying it was "a miracle" her son wasn't killed.
The boy, Damon Dyer, was unscathed as the drivers of at least a half-dozen cars and a tractor-trailer rig on Interstate 465 swerved to avoid him on Dec. 30. The temperature was in the mid-50s as the boy ran around barefooted, wearing only a soiled diaper and a Superman T-shirt. Full Story - Parents Magazine - Kool Cigarettes - Cafe Britt
