Tuesday House Faces Class D Felony Child Neglect Charges After Toddler Found Wandering Streets While She Partied & Did Cocaine

Tuesday House's one year old baby daughter was found wandering a busy street in an Indianapolis neighborhood while she went out partying and doing cocaine. Neighbors found the toddler walking on a sidewalk at 21st and Harding Saturday. Get this, it took police 24 hours to find the mother. Uncle Eric Cosby said the girl often stays at his home and was surprised to find out she was missing. He said it is a big misunderstanding. Really? How does a mother not wonder where her child is for 24 hours? The police interviewed the mother on Monday and she admitted to drinking and using cocaine the night her toddler wandered off. Tuesday House told detectives when she left the house, a family friend was outside and the baby was asleep inside. But detectives beg to differ. They said no arrangements were made to take care of the young girl.

Thankfully, the child was found by people in the neighborhood who went door to door trying to ascertain whose child she was. They then took her to a nearby store and called for help. It wasn't until news reports showed the child's picture that family members came forward. During this whole time the mother had not surfaced. Where is the child's father? Why was he around to take care of his child while this hood rat went out?

House told police she returned home and found the child gone. But according to a police report, House left again even after she realized her daughter wasn't home. Police believe House did not check on the welfare of her child and was not aware the girl was missing until the police knocked on her door Monday morning. She  faces Class D felony child neglect charges. What I find equally incredulous is the fact that Tuesday House works for the Indiana Family and Social Services Agency as a clerk, although she is employed through a temp agency. So much for background checks, since this isn't the first time she has popped up on their radar. She had a similar problem with an older child. She was also charged with theft and battery in the 1990s.
