Things that make you go hmm...
Walking down a busy street in Charlotte, N.C., last weekend were a 20-something mother, clutching her newborn infant, and a 40-something grandmother. Also in tow was a toddler.
None of them had a stitch on, which created a bit of a traffic jam on the main thoroughfare of Providence Road.
“Like freshly born naked,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Capt. Rod Farley, describing the group’s appearance. “This was Adam and Eve stuff — not even a loincloth.”
Resident Jill Mead was driving by, when she did a double-take. It “blew my mind,” she said.
When police arrived and questioned the birthday-suit entourage, the women said they’d been divinely inspired. Apparently “the Lord told them to get naked and walk down the street,” Farley said.
The naked family was taken to a nearby hospital for physical and mental evaluations.
“It didn’t appear that they had any problems short of that they didn’t have any clothes on,” Farley said Saturday, following the incident.
A child neglect report was filed with the Department of Social Services, he said.
