Lakesha Woods Williams, a 29-year-old mother, has been arrested after allegedly leaving her two young children alone for six days while she went on a cruise. The incident took place in her high-rise apartment in Houston, Texas, and has caused quite a stir.
According to the Harris County Constable's Office - Precinct 5, Williams decided to depart for her cruise on April 4th and did not return until the evening of April 10th. During this time, her children, aged 6 and 8, were left to fend for themselves in their home. It was not until a concerned individual called the police on April 9th, just one day before Williams' return, that the authorities were made aware of the situation.
Upon arrival at the apartment on Katy Freeway, deputies found the two children who informed them that their mother was away on a cruise. This prompted a statement from Precinct 5 Constable Ted Heap, who wrote on Facebook that they are still investigating the details of how the children were left alone for such a lengthy period of time. However, the most important thing at the moment is that the kids are now safe and sound. Those responsible for leaving them in an unsafe situation must be held accountable.
The children have since been placed under the care of a relative, while Williams was arrested on Thursday and held at the Harris County Detention Facility upon her return. Her bond has been set at $25,000 and she appeared in court on Monday, where a judge upheld the decision. It is unclear at this time what repercussions Williams will face for her actions.
Leaving young children unattended for an extended period of time is a serious matter and it is fortunate that the authorities were alerted to the situation before any harm could come to the children. It serves as a reminder to always ensure the safety and well-being of our children, especially when making plans to be away from them for an extended period of time.
