Mother left child in backseat of car while she was inside nightclub
PRICHARD, Ala. (WALA) — An Alabama woman was arrested after allegedly leaving her child alone in a car while she was inside a nightclub.
Eva Rudolph, 20, turned herself in to the Prichard Police Department early Tuesday.
Her arrest comes after a viral video captured images of a child sleeping in the back seat of a car that was parked outside the Lotus nightclub in the middle of the night Saturday. Police said Rudolph is the mother of that child and was inside the club when the video was shot.
It’s not clear how long the child was in the car before the video was recorded. The car was gone by the time police arrived.
Police said the video has been turned over to the Child Advocacy Center and the Department of Human Resources for further review.
Rudolph was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, which is a misdemeanor. She was booked into the Mobile Metro Jail and released soon after on bond.
