A Florida mom left her baby alone in their maggot-infested home so she could go out and party, police said.
Ellen Burns, 20, allegedly abandoned the tiny boy as he slept in his crib Saturday night at the filthy Groveland apartment.
Burns was found at a party and booked into jail overnight, where she tested positive for drugs.
Cops were called by concerned neighbours and arrived to find a clogged-up toilet, dangerously exposed wiring and maggots in the kitchen, according to WESH.com.
Burns says she never neglected her son — she left him with friends who ran out after the cops were called.
A bottle of baby formula had also disgustingly crusted over at the nipple. Police took photographs of the home.
Child welfare officers were drafted in, and they found a rash on the youngster's genitals and torso.
The boy was taken to South Lake Hospital and then moved into foster care.
Cops say the kitchen was so dirty, there were maggots crawling around.
