CALCASIEU PARISH SHERIFF'S OFFICEPrincess Marks, 25, of Lake Charles, La., was arrested after allegedly left two young children alone in her car while she performed oral sex on her boyfriend.
Two Louisiana women were arrested in separate incidents on the same day for abandoning their children in cars — so they could partake in the joys of shopping and fellatio.
Princess Marks, 25, of Lake Charles, left her two young children, ages 5 and 7, in an SUV so she could perform oral sex on her boyfriend about 12:40 a.m. Friday, authorities said.
"Both of them were crying hysterically," Officer Kim Myers the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office told the Daily News. "While the deputies were trying to calm the children down, Princess walked up about 15 minutes later."
At that point, she admitted she was on the other side of the parking lot in her boyfriend's car performing oral sex, authorities said.
Marks was arrested, charged with child desertion and released on a $5,000 bond.
Deputies from Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office learned of the incident when a concerned citizen walked by the car and called the police. The SUV's windows were down.
The children were placed in the care of family members.
Later that day, about 2:30 p.m., Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a similar call — only this time, the car was hot.
CALCASIEU PARISH SHERIFF'S OFFICEFaith D. LaFleur, 26, Lake Charles left 3 children in her car in 130 degree-heat while she shopped.
"A woman left three babies in a car at the Prien Lake Mall. When we did a test of the temperature, it reached 130 degrees in the car," Myers said.
Faith D. LaFleur, 26, also from Lake Charles, allegedly admitted she abandoned her three children — an 11-month-old, a 5-year-old and 2-year-old — so she could go shopping.
Two of the children were strapped in child seats while the other played with the keys in the ignition.
An ambulance was called on scene and the children were found to be sweaty, dirty and hungry.
LaFleur was arrested and charged with three counts of cruelty to a juvenile. Her bond was set at $100,000.
These incidents follow several other high-profile cases of parents abandoning their children in cars — sometimes with fatal consequences.
