Report: Roswell Mother Left 3 Children in Car While She Shopped

A Roswell mother is accused of leaving her three children alone in a vehicle while she shopped.

According to WSB-TV, Hamilton Eseosa, 28, was arrested earlier this month by Alpharetta police after the incident, which occurred along North Point Parkway.

Alpharetta Department of Public Safety spokesperson George Gordon said the woman’s children, — ages 1, 4 and 5, were all left unattended in a minivan. Several people people called 911 to report the incident, and waited for up to 15 minutes for the woman to re-appear, Gordon told WSB.

Gordon noted residents said they were concerned when they heard the 1-year-old child crying inside the vehicle, and were eventually able to get the oldest child to unlock the door, WSB said. They were able to obtain the woman’s name from information inside the vehicle, and tried to locate her.

Gordon said the woman eventually returned to the vehicle with numerous shopping bags in tow and was taken into custody, WSB reports.

Fulton County Jail records show Eseosa was booked into the jail Dec. 14, and was released Dec. 15 after posting a $1,500 bond.
