Mommy Goes Missing to Play Poker
A woman with three children and one more on the way was arrested in Saipan, a tiny island in the Pacific ocean, for abandoning her kids to play poker. Not exactly the best example of responsible parenting, the pregnant woman, Lincy Santos, left her young children alone at home to go play poker in a local arcade. As if this wasn’t bad enough, Santos has flown the coop to play poker before and has been caught doing so four times!
