Lady leaves toddeler on bus

In Miami-Dade police are investigating why a mother abandoned her 2-year-old daughter on a county transit bus Tuesday morning.
Pushing the toddler in a stroller, the mother got onto the bus and then immediately got off without the child, witnesses said. The bus driver tried to stop her "He was yelling after her and calling her, but she didn't answer. She just kept going," He said.
Miami-Dade police quickly found and detained the woman, and they interviewed and evaluated her in the hope of determining why she did it. Family members, who live nearby, said they are not sure what prompted the woman to leave the child alone on a bus.
"She's a very good mother. She takes good care of those kids," said Minnie Hart, the child's great-grandmother. "Do you think it was somehow an accident?" Local 10's Todd Tongen asked.
"I don't know. I'm puzzled, because I don't know. She's just not herself to me," Hart said.
Police said the child was not harmed. The Department of Children and Families took the toddler into protective custody. DCF has investigated two separate incidents at the family's home in the last two years, but the children were never removed from the home. The mother also was arrested in February on a charge of misdemeanor theft. The girl remained in DCF custody Tuesday afternoon. The mother could face serious charges. "Child endangerment, child abandonment -- there are numerous charges she could be hit with," said Robert Williams, of the Miami-Dade Police Department

This is terrible if she was such a good mother then why would she leave her child on the bus?
