A Florida woman has been arrested after police say that she left her three young children alone in her home for three days — all so she could go partying. Fortunately, the children in this story survived the abandonment ordeal, but things could have potentially gone wrong for the young ones who were left to fend for themselves.
Coral Springs Talk reports that 35-year-old Daverta Jenkins left her children, ages 12, 6 and 3 years old, alone for several days in her apartment without any adult supervision. To make matters worse, she left the children without adequate food in the home, which caused her 12-year-old child to beg for food and care from the absent woman via text. Police say the oldest child was left to care for the younger siblings, but they needed food. She tried to call and text her mother at least a dozen times with no success.
The children finally gave up on trying to contact their mother, and were forced to beg the neighbors for food after more than two days of begging their mother to come home and feed them. This triggered a call to police, who discovered that the mother had abandoned them without adequate care.
The Florida woman has been charged in association with abandoning her children, who have been removed from the home and placed in the custody of CPS.
