A woman got a 30-day jail sentence for leaving her three young children home alone for several hours while she and her boyfriend attended a videotaping of “The Jerry Springer Show.”
[…]
The two girls and one boy, all under the age of 4, have been placed in foster homes by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
Police said Cook left the children alone at a suburban home Oct. 19 while she and her boyfriend went to Chicago for the taping. About five hours later, the two oldest knocked on the door of a neighbor, who called police.
All I can say is I’m glad that the kids have been taken away from these morons.

Next thing you know, they’ll be ON the show to tell their tale!
Ha! Welfare scum at it’s finest.
There’s a lot of good irony in that story.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s a little to much to put them in foster homes?
Yes you are, Nex. 🙂
Actually, I don’t care where they are, as long as they aren’t with their nitwit parents.
Maybe that’s why I don’t have a kid. :o)
I was thinking that a more appropriate punishment might have been 30 days of home confinement. make em spend time with the rugrats…
that might scar the kids for life!
Getting taken away from their parents already did scar them for life 😛
am i the only one who is beginning to think nex is an idiot…?
