"Mother Accused of Locking Her 7-Year-Old Son in the Trunk of Her Car so She Could Celebrate Her Birthday..."

The attorney told the judge that while Powell's alleged criminal actions could be considered "poor judgment," her son is in good health and is well cared for.

...Powell was arrested after San Diego police got an anonymous tip that her child was locked in the trunk of her gray 1985 Volvo. ...A sleeping bag, pillow and car battery were in the trunk....

Wow, I didn't get a car battery till I was well into my teens.
