In the United States, there are many states that prohibit children from leaving home or hotel rooms alone. It is to prevent child abuse and neglect.
However, there are cases in which unwed mothers who have left their children and went to work after the Corona 19 crisis are punished. Schools and childcare facilities were closed, so there was no right place to leave their children, and as jobs were drastically reduced, options were also reduced.
US NBC Broadcasting and Fox News recently introduced the story of a single mother in her twenties who was punished for leaving her child in a motel room for work.
Shaina Bell, 24, a single mother from Liberty Township, Ohio, left her 10-year-old and 2-year-old daughter in the motel room on the 11th (local time) and went to work at a pizzeria. However, someone who saw that only children were left in the motel room reported this to the police.
Bell, who was working at the store this evening, was arrested by the police. Bell is accused of child abuse and is expected to be tried in April.

– Bell is reportedly forced to go to work to provide for the living expenses to feed and raise the children. It is known that on the same day they left the children in the motel room, they called their daughter every hour to check the situation, and asked the children to come back by 10 p.m. to find their mother.
When these sad circumstances became known, sympathy arose in the community.
Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego shared Bell’s story on Twitter. “The reality of single mothers” and expressed regret.
With a warm hand to help Bell, 100,000 dollars (about 110 million won) has been collected on the crowdfunding site Go Fund Me by the 18th.
