A South Carolina mother was jailed after allegedly giving her 4-year-old son “shots” of beer in a local bar.
Gretchen Lynn Kinnear, 44, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Kinnear brought her son to McHale’s Irish pub in Fort Mill, S.C. on Saturday were a patron contacted police after observing her giving the small child three “shots of beer.”
When officers arrived, they found her sitting at a table with her son, where she admitted letting him sample the beer, the Observer reported.
The boy told officers his mom gave him “tea” that tasted funny and made him giggle. He also said he had similar “tea” at home.
In the police report, Kinnear admitted she had given her son wine at home but said she “doesn’t do it to get him drunk or keep him quiet,” the Observer said.
It was unclear if Kinnear had obtained a lawyer.
The boy was in the temporary custody of his babysitters.
