Babysitting dad charged with child abuse; left infant, toddler home alone (Beaufort, North Carolina)

Dad BRANDON ADKINS has been arrested on child abuse charges after he left his 2-year old and 5-month old home alone. Given that mom found that the TV had been thrown near the baby's crib, and that a bottle of bleach had been dumped all over the floor, it sure looks to me like Daddy was having a temper tantrum over something. One of the commenters to this article said something about the mom cutting off contact with this idiot. Nice sentiment, but the courts don't allow mothers to act authoritatively on behalf of their offspring. And certainly not in North Carolina.

BEAUFORT, N.C. - A father has been charged with child abuse after police say he left his two small children home alone.

Beaufort Police arrested Brandon Adkins last Saturday after his wife told police she came home that afternoon and actually had to crawl through a window to get inside.

Once inside she said she found her two children ages two and five months alone in the apartment when Brandon was suppose to be watching them.

The wife told police a television had been thrown near the baby's crib and a bottle of bleach had been poured all over the living room floor.

Adkins received a two thousand dollar bond and is scheduled to appear in court on March 22nd.
