HOUSTON (AP) - A woman accused of leaving eight children with little food and no money while she traveled to Africa to marry a man she met on the Internet has been arrested.

Shanell Monique Mosley, 33, was met by authorities as she got off an Air France jet Monday at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Harris County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. David Crain said Tuesday, January 29, 2008.

Charged with child endangerment and child abandonment for leaving the children in squalid conditions, Mosley was expected to have an attorney appointed for her at a Wednesday court appearance.

After the children were discovered alone in the home in early January, officials learned Mosley went to Nigeria to marry an Internet acquaintance.

When she left for Nigeria on December 31, Mosley told her 15 year-old daughter she would return in a month, child welfare officials said.

Prosecutor John Jordan said Mosley's six children, now in foster homes, were starving and her older children couldn't recall their own birth dates.

Mosley's children are ages 1, 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16, Jordan said. The other two children found in the home were 3 and 4 year-olds the family cared for on behalf of a single father who worked, Jordan said.

The 9 year-old son told authorities he and the baby ate a still-frozen pizza for breakfast the morning they were discovered home alone. There were no diapers, baby food or formula for the infant, no sheets on beds and fruit was rotting in a basket, Jordan said.

WTF is wrong with people? AND,where was this new "husband" Not only did she leave HER 6 kids there...she left somebody else's kids too?
And why didn't the daddy of those other two kids know something was up?
Stupid, stupid, STUPID.

Maybe he caught her with one of those e-mails, guaranteeing her money y'all know what I'm talking about

[BlackQueen]

Don't these mothers know that their children are more important than a man?! It makes me sick!

Peace...
BQ that does sound good...but shit u have to realize that there are some women who DON'T have kids that feel as if a man is the end all to all...so it's about educating the sistahs about understanding not only their children's worth but THEIR worth as well.
