Wyoming County prosecutors say Jessica Minor of Montrose, Pa., gave alcohol to her son, Mason, in 2007 to stop him from crying. The baby later died.

Wyoming County District Attorney George Skumanick says the baby's blood-alcohol content was .205 -- well over twice the legal limit for adult drivers.

Minor was charged Tuesday with involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. At a court appearance, she denied giving the baby alcohol.

She is free on $25,000 unsecured bail.

Babies are going to cry, are going to fight sleep, teeth, get sick, etc.

Yes it CAN be frusrating, and down-right annoying at times, but that’s a part of it.

If you can’t handle the stresses of motherhood, DON’T be a mother.

I meant to say “that’s a part of life.”
