GOD!!! WHY THE HELL DID THIS WOMAN DO THIS?

Shelly Harjo

An Oklahoma woman, Shelly Harjo, 30, has been arrested for leaving her children home alone and embarking on a weekend getaway. She has been charged with child neglect for allegedly leaving her three children, ages 3, 4, and 11 at home to spend the weekend with her boyfriend in Austin, Texas.

Oklahoma City Police Master Sergeant Gary Knight said Shelly put her 11-year-old in charge of her younger siblings and "All they had to eat was old pizza that had been purchased before the mom left town." They had soup too, according to the 11 year old.

However, on Monday, April 9, the deputised 11-year-old called the police believing her mother was missing after not hearing from her as she had promised to return the day before (Sunday). Shelly returned around 9pm on the same day.

In her defense, Shelly told Oklahoma Human Service officials that she had arranged with a friend of hers to babysit her children, but the friend had failed to turn up.

The children were placed in the custody of  DHS while Shelly Harjo was booked into the Oklahoma County Jail.
