Mom Leaves Kids in Car to Hook Up With Man Across Parking Lot, Gets Arrested

A young mom put sexual desire over her children’s safety last weekend in a store parking lot in Lake Charles, La., and got arrested as a result.
Princess Marks, 25, allegedly dragged her daughters out in the middle of the night so she could "hook up" with her boyfriend in the parking lot.
She was caught by local police after a passerby reported that two young girls had been left alone inside an SUV with the windows rolled down.

It was around 12:40 a.m. that night when police allegedly discovered Princess performing oral sex on her boyfriend in another vehicle in the parking lot.
Her children, ages 7 and 5, were in her car alone across the lot. A spokesperson for the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office told a local radio station:
“Deputies responded in reference to a report of two young children left unattended inside an SUV with the windows left down and the SUV not running."
A concerned stranger discovered her children in the car. Police arrived and found Marks in another car where she could not even see the SUV.
For whatever reason, he was apparently parked so far away that she could not even keep an eye on the car as they “hooked up” inside of his.
“Marks also advised deputies that she was unable to see the children or her SUV from her boyfriend’s vehicle,” the police spokesperson revealed.
Princess was arrested by police and charged with child desertion. She was later released on a $5,000 bond, and her kids delivered to other family members.

I Can’t Divorce 2Face – Annie Macaulay

Nollywood actress and wife of award winning music artiste, 2face Idibia, Annie, has revealed that she will not allow her children go through the emotional trauma she went through when her parents divorced just when she was only nine years old. In a chat with The Entertainer, she advised that divorce should not be an option for couples who are having face-offs.


“Honestly, divorce is the worst punishment any parent could subject children to because it’s the children that will face the consequences of their actions. Divorce shouldn’t be considered as an option when couples face-off. It is advisable to settle rather than divorce. Why did you get married if you cannot forgive and reconcile with your partner,” she said. The actress, who just welcomed her second child for the musician, said her parents-in-law are her mentors when it comes to marriage. “I don’t wish my kids to pass through my experience regarding divorce. I always use my parents-in-law as an example and I try to emulate them in my marriage. After all these years, they are still deeply in love with each other. Even at their age, they still enjoy each other’s company and that is amazing” she said. (Nigeriafilms.com)
