KY Mom's Reason For Abandoning 1YO "My Flesh & Spirit Could Not Take It No Longer, So I Left"

[Sugar Cookie]

At about 9 a.m., Sarah Vicker fed her 1-year-old daughter inside an apartment on Villa Drive in Richmond, according to court documents obtained by the Lexington Herald-Leader.

About two hours later, the defendant allegedly left the child inside of a playpen next to a 65-inch TV without any additional food, wrote a farewell note to her significant other, and left.

She did not lock the door on her way out, authorities said.

About two hours later, Richmond police officers tracked her down at the Revival Tabernacle church. The mother reportedly had a simple reasoning for doing what she'd done.

"My flesh and spirit could not take it no longer, so I left," Vicker allegedly told officers.

According to Lexington-based CBS affiliate WKYT, police learned Vicker had walked to the church.

"They did find a 1-year-old child left in this person's apartment that had just been abandoned," Makenzie Davis, Richmond Police executive assistant told the TV station. "The child was alone in a playpen along with a note saying that the mother had intended to leave."

At least she didn't murder the kid. She should have thought this whole motherhood through before she busted it open and got knocked up.

if that is her mugshot what the hell does she has to look so happy about??? it really gets me angry when i see smirking or smiling mug shots as if they are proud of being arrested grrrrrrrrrr..... granted she didn't hit her baby but heck if she couldn't take it any longer, couldn't she at least wait maybe till 5 minutes before her partner came home or better still till he came home and go for a walk and then letting him/her know she wasn't coming back??? her flesh and spirit couldn't take it longer but what about her child's flesh and spirit? being left alone without food, drink, a diaper change ect could her baby take that?

Abandoned? A 65" tv doesn't count as a babysitter?

it does at times like when mom or dad is busy fixing their little ones food , washing their clothes, changing and making their bed, or needing a "quiet" coffee lol.... for electronic babysitters parents have to wait till their child is a little older so they can use cell phones, tablets etc
