A mother who abandoned her young son on a dark, narrow highway on a rainy February night pleaded guilty in court Monday.

Heather Adkins was emotional at times during the hearing. A kidnapping charge was dropped, but she admitted her responsibility in a child endangering charge.

“How do you plead as to that one charge,” the judge asked.

“Guilty,” Adkins answered.

Adkins dropped her 5-year-old, non-verbal son off on a dark, narrow road in Colerain Township on Feb. 17.

The boy was seen wandering through neighborhoods in a steady rain, trying to get help.

Strangers eventually found the boy walking near the intersection of Sheeds and Gains roads.

Despite all of that, Adkins mother stands by her.

Sharon Eads believes her daughter should not only be let out of jail but that she should get her children back.

“I believe she should have her children back because her children are her whole life. She loves her children very much,” Eads said.

Adkins defense said during the hearing that someone else, who has not been charged, was also in the vehicle. Adkins and her mother put blame on that person.

“I didn’t willingly, intentionally do anything, but I take accountability because allowing a certain person into my life led to this,” Adkins said. “It would not have happened had I not let that person around my child.”

Adkins faces 36 months in jail.

The sentencing was delayed until Sept. 28. The judge wants to review Adkins’ latest mental evaluation.

A doorbell camera was able to capture a sneak peek of Georgia's wildlife earlier this month — though the owners now have some home improvement work to do.

The camera captured a wild bobcat scuffling with an opossum in the Atlanta area before the bobcat decided to attack the camera itself.

The homeowner, who lives in Kennesaw, Georiga, just northwest of Atlanta, is used to seeing and hearing animals in the backyard.

According to CNN, she heard a commotion at her back door in the middle of the night over Labor Day weekend. That's where she found the doorbell camera on the ground several feet from the house.

When she checked the video footage from the doorbell camera, she saw the footage of the bobcat swiping at the camera while the opossum looked on.

Fortunately, the video remained intact, offering a glimpse as to what animals are up to after the sun goes down.
