Kira Faust, a 19-year-old mother from Bel Air, Maryland, was arrested for allegedly leaving her six-month-old baby unattended at home while she socialized with friends at a local McDonald's. Police were alerted to the situation after receiving a call about the infant being left alone in a residence on West Bel Air Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered the baby living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Faust reportedly told authorities that she had left her child at home to spend time with friends. The infant was subsequently taken into custody by the Aberdeen Police Department, who received baby supplies from UM Upper Chesapeake Medical Center to care for the child until Child Protective Services could arrange a safe placement. Faust, who previously worked for nearly two years at Churchville Presbyterian Preschool and Daycare, was charged with neglect and later released on her own recognizance. This incident follows a similar case in Georgia, where a mother was arrested after her infant died from being left in a hot vehicle.
