Oneonta woman faces multiple charges after incident during jail visit
Melissa J. Allen, of Oneonta COOPERSTOWN - An Oneonta woman is facing multiple charges after an incident at the Otsego County Sheriff's Office Sunday night. According to Otsego County Sheriff's, Melissa J. Allen, 22, of Oneonta, came to the Sheriff's Office to visit the father of her child in the jail and left their four-month old son unattended in a vehicle in the parking lot for approximately 20 minutes while she was in the Otsego County Jail. She was arrested for endangering the welfare of a child. During a search, a crack pipe was found in Allen's pocketbook. For that, she was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. A computer check revealed that her driver's license was suspended for failing to answer a summons in the Town of Oneonta Court in 2007. She was also arrested for aggravated unlawful operation. Allen was arraigned by a Town of Hartwick Judge and remanded to the Otsego County Correctional Facility on $2,000 bail. The child was turned over to his grandfather Sunday night.

Perhaps if a lot of these people would go back to basics.. mind their manners, respect others, treats others as we would want to be treated, dont have sex untill you are married AND an adult, stay away from drugs and anything else that can control you and keep control, believe in, fear and trust God...then so many people would see an increase in their quality of life. Instead, we see innocent babies born and suffering Flag for moderationMonday, Jun 30 at 9:57 PM Anonymous wrote ...White trash!! That sums it up! Daddy's in jail and Mommies a neglegent crack head.

I agree with ABC. It all comes back to the basics. If you have a nurturing family and good environment to grow up in, you will be in a better position to make better decisions - unlike this piece of work. Her baby needs to be put up for adoption. There are so many people that are unable to have children, why not give them her obviously unwanted "mistake". Give the child the opportunity to be better than her. Don't let this "mother" lead him/her down a path of inevitable suffering.
