MOTHER: It was a mistake. It was an honest mistake. I had no idea that there was alcohol in the water bottle. I love my daughter to death. I would never do anything to harm her in any kind of way. Water, formula (INAUDIBLE) I don`t know what I would have done. I would have lost her. She wouldn`t respond. (INAUDIBLE) Her eyes were kind of droopy. I don`t know, she just wasn`t right.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: She wouldn`t respond? I guess she wouldn`t. The baby hardly weighs 10 pounds. She`s loaded!

GRACE: She was drunk, all right, drunk on vodka, four times the legal limit. But here`s the kicker. The "she" involved is only 2 months old. A Colorado baby nearly died of alcohol poisoning after being rushed to the hospital. And what I don`t understand tonight is why no one has been apprehended. Again, do police believe the baby went to the liquor store and ordered a pint of Ketel One all on her own?

KEVIN MCGLUE, KCOL: I`ll tell you what. It is an interesting situation. You mentioned the fact...

GRACE: Interesting?

MCGLUE: ... no arrests have been made...

GRACE: I call it child abuse.

MCGLUE: They went to what was a store. And the father, boyfriend, went in. The mother and daughter sat in the car, noticed the baby was getting finicky, decided to feed her some formula, reached down, picked up a water bottle that she said she believed contained water.

GRACE: A water bottle.

MCGLUE: It did contain...

GRACE: Vodka.

MCGLUE: ... three ounces of vodka. That was poured in, mixed with the formula. The baby ingested all of that formula. About 3:30 in the morning, the mother realized this baby was unresponsive, not doing well.

GRACE: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! At 3:30 in the morning? Let me think about this just a moment. You`re telling me they're out driving around in the car with the baby at 3:30 in the morning?

MCGLUE: Well, now, that again is a spot where do you not know exactly the timeline, how this has progressed. This is a family that has lived with family in the Colorado Springs area. They have known to be somewhat transient in nature, meaning they have lived out of their car before.

GRACE: Hold on. Did the baby -- was the baby out and about at 3:30 AM? Yes, no.

MCGLUE: Do not know. Do not know.

GRACE: OK. I want to go out to Pat Brown, criminal profiler. Pat, an accident? Feeding the baby, what would it be, three ounces of vodka? The baby`s only 10 pounds.

PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER: Well, Nancy, I think it is possible it`s an accident, but the question is under what circumstances. It doesn`t look like she mixed a little bit of alcohol in with the regular formula and water in order to calm her baby down. Some mothers do that, you know, just give them a little bit, calm them down and accidentally overdose.

GRACE: A little bit?

BROWN: Well, this is obviously not that, Nancy, because she didn`t have any other water, so she was grabbing for something.

CALLER, "CINDY": Hi, Nancy. I just want to say one thing. You are such an angel to all the victims and the victims` families out there. But I want to know, my question is, why isn`t DCF involved in this, or if they are, and why hasn`t somebody been arrested if the baby was in their custody?

GRACE: Cindy, I don`t know. That`s my question. I can`t get anybody on the panel to give me a clear answer tonight. But believe me, the baby didn`t grab a pint of vodka and down it herself!

GRACE: Let's unchain the lawyers. Joining us tonight, Doug Burns out of the New York jurisdiction, Steve Greenburg out of Chicago. Welcome to both of you. Doug Burns, look, you know the legal meaning of res ipsa loquitor, "The thing speaks for itself." You don`t even need any evidence, like when somebody wakes up from surgery and they have a sponge left in their stomach. Somebody did something. This baby didn`t go order a vodka tonic, all right? She`s in the car with the mom and dad.

DOUG BURNS, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: We know that. But by the same token, there are only two possibilities. One is that the woman intentionally gave it to her, or two, in point of fact, the liquor was in a water bottle. We just do not know that. Generally, babies either get it from a bottle or rub it on their gums or you breast feed them...

GRACE: Rub it on their gums? Rub it on their gums? You`re not supposed to rub alcohol, vodka, on a baby`s gums! Who told you that?

BURNS: I`m not saying that you`re supposed to do it, I`m saying that`s one of the ways that it occurs. And the reality is...

GRACE: I said, what`s your best defense, and you said rubbing it on her gums. [NOTE: She didn't say this --Fussbett]

BURNS: No, the -- Nancy...

GRACE: This child, three ounces of -- she was loaded!

BURNS: Right. The defense hears that the woman had no idea that the water bottle had vodka in it.

CALLER, "LINDA": Hi, Nancy. I love you. I think you`re wonderful!

GRACE: Bless you. What`s your question?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Nancy, first of all, I don`t understand how you can confuse a water bottle with a vodka bottle.

GRACE: I don`t, either.

CALLER, "LINDA": And secondly, it troubles me that -- and we`ve seen this in many cases, the way that she does not look into the camera. She constantly has a -- she looks down. And we`ve seen this in many cases.

GRACE: You know what? That`s a really good point. What about it, Caryn Stark?

CARYN STARK, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: That is a good point. And she doesn`t actually sound like she`s very sure of what she`s saying, Nancy. And the truth of the matter is, how does somebody confuse water and vodka? What was the vodka doing there? It makes no sense.

SARAH DELAROCHE, GAVE BABY ALCOHOL: It was a mistake. It was an honest mistake. I had no idea that there was alcohol in the water bottle.

I love my daughter to death. I would never do anything to harm her in any kind of way. She wouldn`t respond. She was just moving her arms and her legs, you know, and her eyes were kind of droopy. I don`t know. She just wasn`t right.

Water formula, you know, I didn`t think to smell it. I never do. I don`t know what I would have done if I would have lost her.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: Speaking of eyes, why aren`t you looking into the camera when you speak, number one? And the baby was loaded! Of course, there`s something wrong with her. We`re talking about an 8-week-old baby girl who ingested about three ounces of vodka. 877-NANCY-01, can you smell vodka? I say you can smell vodka. Dean says you can smell vodka. Ellie, Ellie, you`re the expert. Can you smell it?

ELLIE, SHOW PRODUCER: It smells, but I wouldn`t say it smells as strong as, say, whiskey does.

GRACE: Let's go out to the expert, Trenny Stovall, child custody advocate joining us out of Atlanta. She's such a good mom, she brought her baby with her tonight instead of leaving him/her with a nanny. Trenny, thank you for being with us.

TRENNY STOVALL, CHILD CUSTODY ADVOCATE: You`re welcome.

GRACE: Three ounces of vodka. You know, this equals -- it could be alcohol poisoning with an adult.

STOVALL: Definitely, and it could have killed the baby. So I have like a million questions. First of all, were they in their own car? Who put the alcohol in the bottle of water, if it was in it, and what in the heck was she doing? That makes no sense to me. I really don`t care whether it was an accident or not. It's depraved indifference, as far as I'm concerned.

GRACE: Back out to Kevin McGlue with KCOL. Tell me about these parents. Number one, are they married?

KEVIN MCGLUE, ASSISTANT NEWS DIRECTOR, KCOL: They are not married. This is a group of folks who apparently are transient in nature. They do live with the woman`s grandmother. When they`re not living with her, they live in their car. So this is a group that doesn`t really have a rock solid relationship in terms of where they live.

GRACE: OK, I don't care -- I'm not all hung up on the marriage thing. But does anybody in the bunch have a job?

GRACE: And to you, Caryn Stark, clinical psychologist, what does the background have to do with anything?

CARYN STARK, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: The background has to do with, what was the situation? Are they married? They`re not married. Did he drop them off at the hospital? He did. Did he disappear? We hear that he did. So it tells us a lot about what kind of couple this is.

When you live in your car, Nancy, for me that says that you`re homeless. So they have a baby in a homeless situation. And why was the vodka there to begin with?

GRACE: You know, that`s a really good point.
