APOPKA, FL -- A child was reportedly caught on video blowing into the breathalyzer installed to prevent his mom from drinking and driving in Florida. Now his mother is behind bars.

A police officer's body camera caught the four-year-old kid blowing into the device. The boy's father says he installed the device in his wife's vehicle because she has a drinking problem and just got out of rehab.

April King, 35, was charged with child neglect for allegedly leaving her two small children in her vehicle while she drank in a bar. The dad tells WFTV-TV he is taking the kids and moving back to Oklahoma.
