A 32-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of child abuse after police said witnesses saw her drop her infant daughter in an East Side Wal-Mart.

Catina D. Smith was arrested on Sept. 24 and is facing child-abuse charges.

A witness at the store, at 7150 E. Speedway, told police on Sept. 5 that Smith dropped the infant and appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.

Officers found Smith a short time later on a bus with her 17-day-old daughter and 4-year-old son, Pacheco said.

The children were given to their father while Smith was taken to a hospital for evaluation, he said.

Child Protective Services tried to check on the welfare of the children after the Wal-Mart incident, but it was unable to find them.

The agency contacted Tucson police to report the infant as an endangered missing child, Pacheco said.

An investigation revealed child-protection officials in Kansas had severed Smith's parental rights to her four children, including the 4-year-old boy, Pacheco said.
The boy's father was given custody of the child, but they disappeared. Kansas officials had been looking for Smith's son for more than a year and were unaware that she had given birth to another child since then, he said.

The infant was checked at a hospital and found to have a skull fracture, Pacheco said. Both children are now in the custody of CPS.

Wish someone would drop her on her head! I hope this infant doesn't have any brain damage could handicapp the baby for life. Shit pisses me off too know end a normal (whatever normal is) infant get's dropped on head by a fucked up mother and possibly mess the infants life.

I can't control my feelings on parents who are given a healthy baby and then possibly cause handicapps and mental problems for the rest of there life. I have 2 children both with these problems and not my fault but still felt so guilty and blamed myself for a long time. So the anger I have for parents like this makes me nuts!

Cut them some slack. I mean, it isn't as though people are pregnant for nine months before they have a baby, is it? :-P

Chances are that this baby will not have brain damage if it was dropped only once.

They need to get this worthless bitch sterilized.

IF only dropped ONCE....

Drugged up "Mom", what are the chances of ONCE?

I'll keep my fingers crossed but that pesky damn voice in my head keeps saying otherwise.

Save some money. Staple her shut and be done with it. Hey, it worked on that guy's rectum, in that thread in the "strange but true" forum.
