What the hell was she thinking ?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A woman accused of duct-taping her two children together and leaving them home alone all day was arrested on child abuse charges, the sheriff's office said.
Agla Nadia Vincent, 25, was arrested following a seven-month investigation into whether she left her two boys, then aged 2 and 3, taped to each other while she went to work, said Lt. Annie Smith of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Vincent was being held Tuesday on a $5,000 bond, the Florida Times-Union reported for Wednesday's editions.
She was a four-year naval officer and had worked at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station before completing her service and being discharged in August, naval base spokesman Rick Cruz said.
In March, a witness heard the children crying through an open window and police. When military police arrived Vincent told them her children were not home, but they found the children taped in a bedroom with feces and cereal scattered on play mats on the floor, a sheriff's office said.
Her children were taken into custody by the Florida Department of Children & Families and she was free pending an investigation.
An officer who arrested Vincent on Monday said she denied leaving the children home alone all day.
It was not immediately clear if Vincent had an attorney.

I agree with A G completely!
LEVITTOWN, Pa. -- A Levittown, Pa., woman, honored last year for her work as a foster mother by a local organization, is now under arrest for allegedly wrapping up her foster children with duct tape.
Middletown Township police said Colleen Broe, 34, was charged Wednesday with felony counts of endangering the welfare of children and false imprisonment for restraining the children by using duct tape. In 2003.
On the positive side they couldn't get into too much trouble that way. I have to think that this was better than the woman who left her kids in the trunk of her car while she worked (in NJ I think), or the woman drove from Kentucky to VA with her kid in the truck.
It is sad that we need a license for everything we do and then we are able to procreate without restriction. She lost these two, but she is young and can have a few more to take their place. There is a special place in hell for mom's like this.
+++++++++was arrested following a seven-month investigation++++++++++
if she was in the Marine Corps she would have been discharged & charged quite a tad faster than SEVEN MONTHS
