2:26Now PlayingA Florida mom has been charged with child neglect for allegedly abandoning her 2-year-old son in a still-running vehicle to go swimming for nearly 45 minutes — while saying she wanted to “meet sharks.”
Allison Sarah Daugherty, 41, was taken into custody when authorities were alerted by a witness who saw her allegedly leave her son in a car while she went swimming off Bokeelia Fishing Pier around 10:30 a.m. Monday, NBC 2 reported.
According to the witness, Daugherty — who is listed as transient on the arrest record — parked her car near the pier and turned up the radio before jumping into the water.
Twenty minutes later, the passerby noticed the small boy crawling around the vehicle, which was left running with the air conditioning on, they added.
A group fishing off the pier also reportedly yelled warnings to avoid their hooks — just for Daugherty to say “she wanted to get hooked” and “would want to meet sharks,” the report said, noting that sharks are often seen in the waters.
