WYOMING — Rosalyn Parris stumbled outside a Cheyenne duplex, nearly dropping her 8-month-old son and further fueling the ever-growing neighborhood scrutiny of her parenting skills.
In photos splashed across the front page and inside the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle on Friday, the 24-year-old mother is shown exiting the house with Jason Thomas Parris in one hand and a sippy cup in the other.
As her husband walked Parris to her car, she stumbled - her long pants apparently getting tangled in her open-toed shoes - and bent low as Jason's head flung backward, knocking off his orange hat.
Parris, though, was able to keep her balance and hold on to her son, with help from her husband who reacted quickly. A passerby snapped the pictures with a camera phone.
A call to the photographer Friday seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The baby bobble was the latest public incident involving the safety of Parris' child. Earlier this week, she was seen driving with Jason in a car seat facing forward rather than facing backward, which some safety regulations say is best.
Parris, who recently announced that she's pregnant with her second child, was visited by a sheriff's deputy at her home last month after Jason slipped from his mother's arms as she was lifting him from a high chair and something in the chair snapped.
In February, authorities visited Parris' home after neighbors reported the travel agent in a car with her son in her lap, instead of being strapped to a car seat in the back seat. She first blamed an overdose of Tylenol, but later said it was a "mistake."
What, this isn't news? Then why is this?
I can't claim to understand why everybody is so obsessed with Britney's parenting skills, but after all these stories in the news I bet there's a collective sigh of relief going up from all the men who wanted to sleep with her a few years ago: "Whew! Glad that's not my offspring she's flinging around!"
