Well this will sure teach moms everywhere not to, um, feed their kids: a mom was arrested in Delaware for leaving her children, ages 8 and 9, alone at their vacation rental home while she went to pick up from a restaurant about five miles away. Susan L. Terrillion, 55, of Olney, Maryland, was arrested and charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of her children on Tuesday, according to Rehoboth Beach Police Lt. Jaime B. Riddle. Police responded to the 200 block of Country Club Drive around 7:30 p.m. for a report of two young children left alone at a residence. A witness told police that he made contact with the children when their dogs ran into Country Club Drive in front of his vehicle, Riddle said. The witness stopped to help the children get control of the dogs and learned they were alone, Riddle said. The mom was arrested, charged and released on $500 bond. What a lovely vacation. Thanks a lot, nosy neighbor.

My parents should have probably been executed. I was not only left alone, but out and about roaming the neighborhood when I was 7. I felt like I was learning a lot. I guess if I were smarter, I would have realized they were abusing me.
