PHOENIX — For a time, Shanesha Taylor was an Internet sensation. She was the mother who — despite leaving her children in a sweltering car during a job interview — attracted sympathy from around the nation with a tear-stained mug shot.

She received $114,000 in donations from a public that seemed inclined to give her a pass for endangering her children based on the fact she was out trying to get a job and was heartbroken over what she had done. Prosecutors gave her a break, too, allowing her to keep her children and not face charges as long as she set up a $60,000 trust fund for her children with the donated money.

But Taylor is running out of second chances. She breached the deal by missing a Thursday deadline for putting money in the trusts, even after the amount of her payments was lowered to $40,000. Now that her deal has been revoked, Taylor is facing a Dec. 10 trial on two felony child-abuse charges.

Outside of a Thursday court hearing, Taylor repeatedly refused to say how much of the donated money remains, but said it was more than $60,000. She said she didn’t fund the trusts because her children won’t get the money if they choose not to attend college.

Prosecutors say the mother of three has spent about $4,100 per month, including more than $1,000 in non-essential items such as cable TV, clothing and dining. Prosecutor Bill Montgomery said this week his patience “has reached its limit.”

Taylor said she isn’t living an extravagant lifestyle, taking her children out to eat at places like McDonald’s and Chuck E. Cheese’s. More importantly, she is still looking for work.

“I am not some lazy bum sitting on the couch,” Taylor said.

Taylor was arrested March 20 after leaving her two young sons in her car for about 45 minutes while she interviewed for a job with a Scottsdale insurance company. Authorities said the temperature inside the car exceeded 100 degrees. A witness found the infant crying hysterically and sweating profusely. She told investigators she didn’t have anyone to watch her then-2-year-old and 8-month-old sons.

The blown deadline has sparked criticism and speculation on social media. Some people say Taylor is not worthy of sympathy, while others have accused her of already spending the funds. But she also still has supporters who are giving her the benefit of the doubt.
