A Florida mother faces child neglect charges after allegedly leaving her 4-year-old and 3-year-old children with an Uber driver for over two hours while she shopped. Emily Sabogal, 32, was arrested following a 911 call from the driver who reported the children were hungry and thirsty. Police bodycam footage shows Sabogal entering the vehicle intoxicated, canceling the ride after receiving $10 from the driver, and disappearing into a mall parking lot.
She was charged with one count of child neglect and two counts of desertion of a child, posting $1,500 bond for each charge. The incident raises questions about ride-sharing safety protocols and driver vigilance.
