Having a child go missing is just about every parent’s worst nightmare, which is why police promised they would do everything in their power to find mom’s 15-day-old baby when she frantically reported him missing.
The mother, whose name has not been released by police, had been hanging out with some friends on Tuesday night was desperate for a night out away from her baby boy named Jay Aden Rice-Meyer who had been born just over two weeks before.
Mom asked friend Kevin Branam to babysit her newborn so she could continue to party and drink. “She said, ‘I want to stay here a day or two, would you please take care of my car and my baby? You know, take it with you, take it home and just watch my car and my baby’ and I said ‘Sure,'” 26-year-old Branam said.
However, when mom woke up the next morning, she had no recollection of anything from the night before, and was frantic when she realized her baby was missing. Police quickly got to work to rescue the infant, and eventually found their way to Branam’s home.
When the cops burst into his home, however, they were stunned to see the baby was perfectly safe and being well looked after. “Apparently, she had too many drinks last night and forgot all about the situation,” Branam said.
“The baby’s fine. [I] took good care of it. I bought some clothes, fed it some formula, put it to bed, washed it. Did the whole nine. Did the whole dad thing, you know. I’ve always wanted to be a dad, so I got to be one for at least a couple hours.”
Branam’s name was immediately cleared, but now police may charge mom with abuse or neglect for her irresponsible actions.
