gets caught she takes off running without her kid, abandoning him at the Wal-Mart. Cops and child protective services take custody of the abandoned kid, manage to get relatives to call the mom. Mom tells them that she will not be picking up her son because she knows they will only arrest her for shoplifting as soon as she shows up, so she is going to stay hiding.

Now she faces felony child abandonment charges in addition to the shoplifting charges.
