Taking time for yourself is important for every mom. Self-care is a necessity for our well-being, and we should absolutely prioritize that time. However, there is a time and a place for it. North Carolina mom Tiffany Nicole Greene is facing serious charges after placing her need for self-care over her kids’ safety. It serves as a reminder that we should never leave our kids unattended in the car. And even though her children were unharmed, there was always a chance that something bad could have happened to them.
Greene was arrested and faces charges related to child abuse, according to the Monroe Police Department. The mom of two allegedly left her kids — ages 4 years, and 5 months — alone in her car while she tanned inside of the Monroe Planet Fitness. She was inside of the gym for approximately 30 minutes, police say.
While she was inside getting a tan, she left her car idling with the windows down. A passerby noticed the car and spotted the kids inside. Understandably concerned, the person called the authorities to come to investigate.
That’s when they found Greene inside the Planet Fitness and promptly arrested her. This happened around 1:30 p.m. Greene’s children were discovered to be uninjured. They were released into the custody of their father.
Tiffany Nicole Greene has been charged with contributing to child neglect and taken to the Union County Detention Center. According to Queen City News, the mom is being held on a $5,000 bond. She is scheduled to be in court on June 12.
