Boy, if I had a dime for every time I left my young children on their own for hours on end so I could head to a neighbor's house in order to have some some adulterous sex ... well, I'd be BROKE, because oh my god are you kidding no one really does that, right?
Wrong. A Florida mom named Crystal Rusaw was arrested last weekend for doing exactly that, and as bad as the story already sounds -- believe me, it gets worse.
Florida police say Rusaw, 24, left her three little kids -- 4, 3, and 10 months old -- alone so she could sneak over to the neighbor's house for some NC-17 action. While Rusaw was enjoying a post-coital nap, the kids apparently got tired of waiting for her. They wandered away from the house, up the street, and crossed a busy highway before a witness called the cops.

The baby, whose diaper was soaked when they were discovered, was being carried by the 4-year-old as they dodged traffic.
Okay, I don't know about you, but I'm having a mini heart attack just thinking about this. The oldest kid is FOUR and they're out on their own wandering on a highway? God, I can't even herd my own kids through a parking lot without freaking that they'll walk in front of a car -- and that's with bug-eyed supervision on my part.
Oh, and here's a final eyebrow-raising detail for you: Rusaw has (had?) a boyfriend who didn't even know what had happened until a reporter called him. He's been out of town for a week. Surprise!
Check out a news clip on this unbelievable story:
You know how sometimes you hear about some awful parenting mishap and you tell yourself not to judge because everyone makes mistakes and accidents can happen to anyone? Yeah, I am totally judging this woman. BIG. TIME.
Do you think there's any reasonable explanation for what this woman did?

My god I am just horrified at reading something so terrible to happen to babies and I'm sure it wasn't the first time this poor excuse of a human being did this but the poor babies got out to expose the ugly truth. It disgusted me that she seemed so calm about saying she was at her neighbors having sex and sleeping with obviously NO thoughts of her 3 little babies being left alone for hours. I hope this woman spends alot of time in prison and those poor babies are put together in a safe, caring place. Prayers for the children of neglectful and abusive parents, it's sad to know that children are being abused daily in anyway, soooooooo very sad.
Where was the father of these children at???? This is ridiculous!! Makes me sick to my stomach.
She will take parenting classes and get her kids back, One can only hope that the courts would take them away for good but that usually dosen't happen not until one is killed or hurt. I would never leave my children alone even to go the bathroom when they where toddlers they went every where I went.
24 with three kids? wow! This is heartbreaking. There are countless women who would give the world to be a parent and we have this happening?! I pray for for those little ones.
