She took the candy, left the baby — and now she’ll pay.
The moronic mom who abandoned her 1-year-old son while swiping $300 worth of candy from a Manhattan Duane Reade got a not-so-sweet plea deal Tuesday.
Michelle Calderon, 24, pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted robbery, a felony, in exchange for 2-1/2 years behind bars and 2 years post-release supervision for stuffing her baby’s stroller in Oct. 2013 with cough drops, gum and Tic Tacs.
She was also slapped with a court order of protection and must stay away from her kid.
The crook mom and her accomplice, Raymond Lebron, fled without the tot when they were spotted stealing on security cameras. When a store employee confronted them, Lebron hit him in the face before he and Calderon tried to use the stroller as a battering ram, cops said.
The employee grabbed hold of the stroller before the two bolted from the store, leaving behind Darnell Johnson, who served as the group’s lookout, with the terrified tot.
“I was there, but I never abandoned my child. He was with a babysitter,” Calderon later told cops.
Cops said the trio tried to make off with $179 in Halls cough drops, as well as $102 worth of Dentyne and Wrigley’s gum and $15 worth of Tic Tacs.
Calderon will be sentenced June 3.
