ZAMBIA: THREE CHIRUNDU HEALTH WORKERS DIE ON WAY TO L/STONE.(PHOTO).
The opener was tounge in cheek, but probably not far from the truth. What is even more disgusting is that when questioned, Kayla Christensen denied ever having a daughter.
This unbelievable act of parenting took place at Loves Travel Spot in Neosho, Missouri.
Employees luckily saw the sweet little 3-year-old girl looking lost, alone and devastated at 3 a.m. on October 23rd.
Credit to the employees who, despite working a busy overnight at the truck stop, still had compassion and caring. The employees quickly engaged the young girl and were able to keep her safe and calm while authorities were notified.
An investigation was launched, and it was soon determined that Kayla had intentionally driven away and left her 3-year-old daughter to whatever fate awaited.
With a name and face to find, police tracked Kayla down. However, disturbingly, Kayla denied having a daughter. She told officers she only had two sons.
Ironically, both of those sons were in the vehicle during questioning. Officers reported that neither was properly belted or restrained. In addition, drug paraphernalia surrounded the children, including syringes. The ages of her sons have not been released.
If authorities thought that after abandoning a 3-year-old, a person might gain some levity and do some soul searching, they were wrong, and they greatly underestimated Kayla's stupidity.
Directly after dumping her child like a lamb before wolves, Kayla drove straight to a casino in Wynndotte, Kansas. Once at her destination, to the surprise of absolutely no one, she left her sons in the vehicle for an extended period.
Before you judge, remember, there were no more truckstops before the casino, so she was kinda forced to leave them with dirty syringes while she gambled.
Officers in Wynndotte had heard enough at this point. Kayla Christensen was arrested and is facing a litany of charges, including child abandonment and endangerment.
This is such a terrible story and reflection of society at times. Can you even imagine what that 3-year-old girl thought as mommy drove away. Or what her brothers thought of leaving their sister behind?
However, there are still so many children trapped in houses, trapped in sad lives, hoping someone notices so they can have a chance at normalcy.
We hope the three-year-old girl thrives.
