Jennifer Vanderbosch takes a swing at her parents with a carseat, child inside it

PRUNEDALE, Calif. -- An intoxicated woman hit her son's grandparents with a car seat after they tried to prevent her from driving home with her infant child, sheriff's deputies said.
Jennifer Elizabeth Vanderbosch, 24, was arrested Sunday after she used a car seat -- which her son was strapped into -- to try and hit both grandparents as they prevented her from leaving the home, authorities said.

If I was drunk, I think I'd rather not have to take care of a baby. It's a good thing her parents had enough sense to stop her."They could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her," Richards said.
He said Vanderbosch entered the bedroom, locked the door and strapped the baby into his safety seat.
It was when she came out of the bedroom that the clash occurred, Richards said.
"They tried to prevent her [from leaving] and she hit the grandparents with the car seat," he said. "The grandparents said they were both hit by Jennifer swinging the car seat several times."
The child's grandfather managed to grab Vanderbosch while his wife wrested the car seat and baby boy away, Richards said. The grandmother then called 911, he said, as her husband held Vanderbosch down to the floor. A deputy arrived minutes later and arrested Vanderbosch on suspicion of felony child endangerment, Richards said. She was booked into county jail. At 2 p.m. Monday, Vanderbosch remained in custody. Her bail had been set at $25,000.
The report said Vanderbosch spent Easter Sunday with her boyfriend and his parents at their Prunedale home. She and her boyfriend were both drinking, Richards said, so her boyfriend's mother drove them to their own homes following a heated argument. Richards said Vanderbosch returned in the evening to get her child.

Uh... that's pretty fucked up. Trying to attack your parents with a carseat is bad enough. Forgetting (or not caring) that your child is strapped into it at the time is like, beyond retarded.
Thank goodness the grandparents responded appropriately. She may be their daughter, but she was clearly a fucking idiot who was in grave danger of doing severe and permanent damage to her own child because she decided to throw a drunken temper tantrum.

WTF??? I was younger than her when I had my first child and I still had more sense than that. It's good to know that there are still some decent people, the grandparents of course. But honestly, if you'd rather be drunk than be responsible than why have the child. Sounds like if this keeps up next time it will be more tragic, and the grandparents won't be there to save the little one.

What a drunken loser of a mother....
I hope to high heaven that the grandparents want and get custody of their grandchild. Otherwise, we will be reading about a pathetic, drunken mother who left her baby in the car or otherwise situation and baby dies.
Be safe and happy little one....away from mama.

Thank God Jennifer's parents had enough sense to stop her from what could have been a horrible tragedy for their family and some other unknown car or person this drunk may have hit. I hope they are able to get custody of their grandson and get her the help she obviously needs.
I remember everything.

I found the paternal grandmother's MySpace. It looks like both sets of grandparents are very involved so I have hope this baby will be well taken care of.

The father is her #1 friend, but his MySpace hasn't been logged into in a while.

I'm guessing she just. might. have a problem with alcohol?
The holidays must really be a great time at THAT household!
Off topic and I'm sorry but I didn't mean to groan that statement! My thanks button left me. Anybody know how to take the groan away?

The remove option is broken for now... hopefully fixed soon. Most everyone has done the same thing, so don't feel bad. I did one and have NO clue where it was. Now I double check it's the right button but am sure I will get click happy and do it again. Not to worry.
God she had to be drunk to wear that pink and yellow thing.
Thanks goodness for the grand parents.

Look at that PERSONALITY, already!!!
I'll be praying for you, Konnor, praying your Mom gets it together, goes into rehab, gets clean and becomes the parent you so richly deserve......In the meantime, Grams & Gramps, Giggles & Kisses, Shelter & Safety, for Konnor!
"MOM" looks like a fat Amy Winehouse to me. Cute baby though.

No baby should ever be a battering ram. WTF, lady...leave the alcohol outta your family life. It will only destroy you. You have a precious life in your hands and you use him to attack his grandparents (who deserve a medal BTW).
Good for you, GM and GP. Might have been an ugly situation, but at least the boy will get to celebrate his next b-day and many more to come.
If ya can't laugh at yourself...guarranteed someone else will.

The grandparents should not be rewarded for taking the law into their own hands and basically kidnapping Konner. Just because someone has had a drink does not mean they are drunk.
I think the mother did what any mother do when a couple of people are trying to keep you from your baby.

Are you the mother? Or just ok with using babies as bats to get away from your parents?

LOL, so swinging the carseat with a baby in it is ok...I would understand if it were her fists instead, but it was a carseat....WITH A BABY IN IT......

"Any mother" would not literally use their own child as a weapon with which to attack people.
She clearly had more than "a drink" to act like such a fucking nutcase.
I'm wondering with the others here... who are you really?

The grandparents did what they should have done, protect the baby.
In my state if you knowingly give a child to anyone, including their parents, that has been drinking or doing drugs, you can be charged.
I highly doubt they were going to keep the baby from her forever, they were probably keeping the baby until she could sober up.

It's what any mother would do?
I'm a mother, and I for one do not try to drive after even a drink, not alone, and certaintly not with my child, actually I rarely drink, and I never drink when I'm responsible for her care. I also, would never swing her around in her baby seat, or try to use her as a weapon.
but then again, I care about my baby.
And, that wasn't just any people, those were grandparents, that actually seem to care about Konner's safety. They weren't trying to kidnap him, they were trying to keep him safe from harm.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Yeah, we're not even supposed to let the kids at my daycare go home with their own parents if we suspect they've had a few. It's an easily misusable rule, but it's there for reasons of safety.
I don't think this was a case of maternal fierceness. Getting past the fact that her mugshot shows it's her goal in life to look like Bettie Page got dressed in the dark, it sounds more like she was impaired and thought the two people in front of her were trying to (for an hour or two) keep her from what she cared about.
But she, and her judgment, was impaired.

Oh! Oh My Goodness! I know you didn't!!!! Did you actually read what this foolbitch, Jennifer Vanderbosch, was doing to get arrested? I hope and pray you DO NOT have children of your own!! Especially, if you think this actually how mothers react in a confrontation about being drunk and trying to drive with your child!!You "superkimchee" are as much of an imbecile as Jennifer!!!
