Mom Arrested for Home Alone Children

(Shreveport, Louisiana) A 29-year-old local mother of six children, Kaylar White, was arrested yesterday on child cruelty charges after police found that she had left her children alone in a deplorably-maintained home.

A police officer who was monitoring traffic in a school zone found the children home alone this morning after he heard a child crying and went to the house to investigate.

He knocked on the door of the dingy frame house and one of the children answered, police said. The house had no heat, food or water, it was messy and there were dirty diapers all over the place, police said.

The children, who range in age from 1 to 10, were given food by police and a child protection agent arrived and took them into state custody.

Twenty-nine years old with six kids living in filth. Depressing.
