A 27-year-old Lincoln woman has been charged with felony child abuse for allegedly locking her 5-year-old autistic son in his room and going to buy liquor at a convenience store five blocks away.

The boy ended up in the street during rush hour Tuesday at about 5:30 p.m., according to the probable cause affidavit for Niccole Lane's arrest.

A man told police he had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting the boy. Then, he took him out of the street and called police, who were able to determine he lived at an apartment building two blocks away on D Street.

Police said they found Lane, intoxicated, about five blocks away at the U-Stop with the 5-year-old's twin brother and arrested her. Prosecutors charged her Wednesday with child abuse.

Lane told officers she was at home and “needed a break,” so she decided to go to the U-Stop to “take some shots and get intoxicated,” according to court documents.

Officers wrote in the affidavit that Lane told them she had locked her son in a room inside their apartment and then left him to go get drunk.

“Defendant laughed and made a bible reference stating her autistic son could not be harmed,” officers wrote in the document.

Lane appeared in court Wednesday where a judge set her bond at $50,000, according to court records.

Rehome the kids.
Burn her ovaries to a cinder.
Release her in the woods.
Let the bears have her.

Looks like he had some very severe needs. Parents of high needs kids need more support. Especially in a freaking pandemic. Not saying she doesn't deserve jail time, but... There but for the grace of God go I. So to speak.

I hope someone punches the smile right off her face.
