Police now say the two boys are brothers and that Riva Higgins is their mother. But both women still face the same charges because Higgins and Ruby Bonds rode to Wal-Mart in the same car and left the kids inside it.

1:58 p.m.
Mobile police arrested two mothers for leaving their children in a hot car while they went shopping.

A couple found a screaming baby in the back seat of a car late Saturday afternoon in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart on Schillinger Road in West Mobile. The 4-month-old baby was strapped in a car seat that was sitting in direct sunlight.

About the same time, a 7-year-old boy who had also been left in the car came into the store crying and looking for his mother.

Both moms returned to the car about 15 minutes after police arrived. Riva Higgins and Ruby Bonds were charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The Department of Human Resources released both children to one of the boy's grandmothers.

I am so glad that these children were not harmed or killed . What is running through the minds of young mothers these days? This is so sad! It is by-far the first time this has happened and it probably won’t be the last. These 2 do look like they are in gulfed in some sort of drug. I hope that they sit in jail for a very long time and their children are sent to homes where they are cared for and loved the way defenseless children should be. I think that the state should be able to give mandatory hysterectomy’s to these kinds of females. There are so many that want children and can not have them. It is a sad situation. :-(

I guess if they smiled in their photo, we would be able to tell if it was crack/meth-they’d have that lovely smile to go along with those beautiful complexions! Yuck.

Thank God this turned out all right. Hopefully, these mothers have learned a lesson they will never forget. Some people never learn lessons from what happens to other people. They have to experience it themselves.

zanax is a tranquilizer, made to sleep if you ask me,they dont look sleepy and acne seems to be associated with meth or crack, I vote for the acne drug which is more then likely why they were there to begin with, once again another parent who should be shot

keepin it real

I wonder how long they were in the store! The cops were there 15 mins before they came out.  No telling how long it took the couple to see them and then how long it took the police to arrive.

I was thinking crack or meth, but I don’t know my street drugs-thank goodness! I know Xanax is prescribed for anxiety, but more doctors are prescribing the antidepressant Lexapro, because it treats anxiety also, without the higher risk of abuse associated with Xanax. Regardless, the pictures definitely portray them as being zoned on something, and I don’t think it’s the “high” of living a good life. JMO

Judging by the look in their eyes, and the circumstances surrounding the situation. I would blame this on the lack of common sense, and the use of Xanax, a common prescribed drug for anxiety disorder, and often abused by Xan Zombies. I do not know either of these individuals, I just know of others who have done the same thing under the influence of this drug. If you notice in the mugshots, their pupils are extremely dilated, also a key sign of Xanax use and abuse.

Where in the hell was their minds!?!  Who has the audacity to leave not one child, but 2, in a hot car.  I would love to hear their excuses for this one myself.  What idiots!!  They should be child locked in a hot car and not let out, to see how they feel. WHy in the world are people having these children if they are too stupid, or too lazy to care for the kids.

I agree with both of you, if you are going to have kids then learn to incorporate them into your busy lifestyle!!! If not then don’t have kids!!! I have a 26month and a 9month old and I couldn’t even dare think about leaving them in a car in the middle of summer!!!

I will gladly give these children a loving, safe home. They obviously don’t have one now. What, were these two lovelies strung out and just “forgot” their kids? PLEASE people, get fixed if you don’t want the responsibility of kids! Why didn’t they leave them with the grandmother to begin with, if they didn’t want to go shopping with them?
