PHOENIX -- Phoenix Police arrested a woman on Tuesday evening after she allegedly gave alcohol to her young son.

Officers were called to a Peter Piper Pizza at 4940 East Ray Road after a witness reportedly saw Valerie Marie Topete, 36, pour beer into her 2-year-old son?s sippy cup.

The witness told authorities that the child drank from the cup after it was filled with beer, and was left alone at the table. The 2-year-old eventually fell from his seat, leading the witness to believe that he may be drunk.

Topete told police that her son had been grabbing at a pitcher of beer. She explained that she gave her son a ?splash of beer? with the hopes that it would get him to stop reaching for the pitcher.

Officers noticed that the child?s cup contained a liquid that had foam and smelled of alcohol.

The child was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Topete has been charged with one count of child abuse.

I like the idea of parenting licenses. One of the questions on the test would be "Would you ever give your 2 year old son beer"

If the person answers "yes", they'd immediately be hauled out to surgery to get their tubes tied.
