A Texas mother was arrested after she allegedly abandoned her two young kids to go on a cruise — leaving the children home alone for nearly a week, officials said.
Lakesha Woods Williams, 29, was hit with two charges of child endangerment last Thursday after officers found her 8-year-old and 6-year-old alone in their high-rise apartment complex in Houston with no adult supervision, according to the Harris Country Constable- Precinct 5.
Williams left her kids to take her solo vacation on April 4 and returned the night of April 10. She was arrested the following day.
Concerned neighbors called emergency responders after worrying about the siblings’ welfare, according to the constable.
