NEW SEWICKLEY TWP, Beaver County — A Butler County mother is accused of leaving her two young children — one 5 months old — unattended in a hot car Sunday night while she drank in a township bar, authorities said.

Cielo E. Torrez, 29, of Butler Township admitted she downed two beers and a shot during the time her children were left in the locked car with the windows rolled up, according to New Sewickley Township police.

But what particularly stunned police was Torrez’s reaction when officers found her in Rumors Bar & Grill on Rochester Road near the Butler County line.

“She stated that she didn’t think there was a problem in what she was doing,” said police Chief Ronald Leindecker.

Officers arrested Torrez on child endangerment and other charges. She is in the Beaver County Jail on $2,500 bail.

About 9 p.m., police said they got a report of a small child and an infant in a car. When police arrived, they found the children, both boys, in the vehicle at the bar parking lot. The infant was in a child safety seat.

“The 5-month-old was sweating profusely and his hair was stuck to his forehead, according to the officers,” Leindecker said.

An Economy Ambulance crew was called and examined the boys. Both appeared to be in good health, authorities said.

Officers found Torrez, a single mother, who was in the bar alone.

Police believe she was in the area because her boyfriend lives in New Sewickley.

Torrez’s grandmother later took custody of the boys.

Torrez is charged with two counts each of child endangerment and reckless endangerment, as well as public drunkenness.
