PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona woman accused of leaving her two young children in a hot car while she went to a job interview will be allowed to visit them while she awaits trial on child abuse charges, a judge ruled on Thursday, according to her lawyer.

Shanesha Taylor, 35, whose tearful jail mugshot attracted nationwide attention to her case and about $115,000 in Internet donations, will be allowed supervised visits with her two sons as she awaits trial on two felony child abuse charges, attorney Benjamin Taylor said.

"She is very happy that our request was granted," said Benjamin Taylor, no relation to his client. "She really misses her children and can't wait to see them."

Shanesha Taylor was arrested in March after police discovered her children, aged 6 months and 2 years, alone in a parked car. The temperature inside exceeded 100 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius).

Police said the children were buckled in their seat belts in the backseat of the vehicle, sweating profusely and in apparent distress while the mother was interviewing for a job with an insurance company.

Taylor pleaded not guilty in April. Her trial was set for September 4 on Thursday.

Taylor's case attracted widespread media attention, focused on the mugshot that captured her with tears streaming down her face. A New Jersey woman was so moved that she started an online effort to raise money to help Taylor pay her bills.

She's probably very stupid and unfit to be a mother because of her lack of intelligence. But that doesn't mean she can't love them or miss them.

Wouldn't have happened with a more liberal child care policy . She was looking for a job to support herself and her children, she didn't have anywhere to leave them while she went to an interview and didn't realise the potential fatal consequences of leaving them in a parked car in the heat. Certainly not brightest star in the firmament but she clearly had the right intentions. There are far worse cases of child abuse from parents who do not care and who do have more intelligence. Deliberate abuse versus accidental. I know what I would forgive/

Shanesha Taylor was arrested on March 20th by the Scottsdale Police for leaving her children ages 2 and 6 months in her car while she interviewed for a job. Ms. Taylor was homeless and could not access any child care. Her desperation to provide for herself and her children and her lack of options led her to take drastic measures in search of employment. Ms. Taylor needs support & help rather than incarceration and a criminal record that will surely decrease her chances to provide for her children in the future. We ask that Maricopa County use common-sense and provide support for Ms. Taylor and her children rather than punishment.

This chick right here is just plan old ignorant. I hope her Brazilian wax was worth it.

Yes, everyone is always saying people are not trying. Here is a clear case of a woman trying.

Ow lord, I didn't see that. I don't want to see it either. I'm tired of things about race. I wish people would just throw race away. Too bad there is no throw away button for peoples' biased, bigotry.
