PHOENIX — Phoenix police have arrested a woman for allegedly driving off after forgetting her baby in a car seat on the roof of her vehicle.

Officer James Holmes tells KPHO that officers were called out early Saturday after witnesses found a child strapped in a safety seat in the middle of an intersection.

The boy wasn't hurt. He's now in the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services.

Authorities say the child's mother, Catalina Clauser, her boyfriend and their friends had been smoking marijuana earlier in the evening at a nearby park.

Upset that her boyfriend was arrested, police say Clauser went to the home of friends and smoked more marijuana.

Clauser left around midnight. Police say she apparently put the sleeping baby on the roof and drove off, forgetting he was there.

    Why do you put your child on top of the car in the first place. Place the car seat next to you so the car seat doesn't fall. Second, how do you forget your child is up there? How do you forget your child is left in a hot car? Why do you leave your very small child in the bath tub alone? Why does someone beat and abuse their children? Our society is filled with sick people who have no business having children.
