HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A west Houston mother has been arrested on charges she allegedly left her 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter home alone so that she could go on a cruise.
Lakesha Woods Williams, 29, is charged with abandoning a child with intent to return. ABC13 was at the jail Thursday evening as she was brought in for processing.

Unfortunately, not a word about dad. Imagine he's not even in the picture. Just a guess about his total lack of responsibility. My heart goes out for these children.
