HOUSTON – A Houston mother appeared in court Monday after being arrested for reportedly leaving her two young children unattended for several days to go on a cruise.
Lakesha Williams, 29, has been charged with abandoning a child with intent to return. Williams appeared in court, where her $25,000 bond stayed the same.
Williams is accused of abandoning her 6-year-old and 8-year-old children in their Memorial area apartment on April 4. Concerned neighbors alerted law enforcement when they observed Williams leaving with luggage. Upon conducting a welfare check on April 9, deputies discovered the children alone in unsanitary conditions.
The children are currently staying with an aunt.
