A mother is now facing child abuse charges after a rollover accident last week in which she was charged with DUI.
Twenty-six-year-old Darla Rodriguez was driving north on Interstate 25 in Pueblo County when she lost control and rolled her Saturn. Her 2-year-old daughter was critically injured in the crash.
The little girl was initially taken to Parkview Medical Center but then flown to Denver's Children's Hospital. According to court documents, the child suffered serious bodily injury and the doctor's report says there is significant risk of serious permanent disfigurement.
The documents also indicate Rodriguez admitted to drinking a 6-pack of beer before getting behind the wheel and not buckling the child up. Police found a child's safety seat improperly installed in the car.
The result of Rodriguez's blood alcohol level will not be released for another two weeks. She is facing felony child abuse charges, in which she acted knowingly or recklessly resulting in serious bodily injury to a child.
Rodriguez is currently in jail on a $50,000 bond.

DARLA, I hope you live EVERYDAY with the guilt of you PERMANENTLY ruining your daughters looks and life. You deserve nothing more the to die behind bars. You are a horrible person ..Darla Rodriguez... You are nothing more then a waste space. You are an ABUSER! "Pahhh" <~~~Spit in your face
Yet another perfect example of the problem of morons breeding. That poor defenseless baby! I hope they're able to fix that little one and get her as close to normal and functioning as possible. Her mother should be permanently disfigured and have her uterus removed. What a failure as a parent and human being! I'm sure they've seized custody of the baby, because this half-wit alcohol-guzzling idiot doesn't deserve to ever have contact with her again.
like what were you thinking hmmm drink and drive and endanger your child hmmm real stupid you should be sentenced to a life time of public service for the sick children in a hospital for very injured kids and slave to them you idiot.
