A mom in Texas has been arrested after allegedly leaving her two young children at home alone for two months. According to a press release from the Roman Forest Police Department, Raven Yates was apprehended by law enforcement on Wednesday at an apartment complex in n Mobile, Alabama, where she had been staying with a male friend after allegedly abandoning her 12-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.
Police claim the mom left the kids back on September 8 of last year. Awful. Before deserting them, ABC13 reported that investigators claimed Yates threatened her daughter that her dad would take her away and leave her brother alone if she told anyone Yates left.

Eventually, family members saw Yates in Mobile and contacted the dad since the kids were not with her. And it wasn’t until November 14 that their father called the Roman Forest Police Department, telling them that the two were allegedly home alone with no guardian over the past two months – “much of the time without access to food or medical supplies.” The pair also were not registered in school.
The police department explained: They then noted that once the dad realized the children were deserted by their mom, he “immediately flew in from California where he had been working at the time.” And following an investigation from RFPD, an arrest warrant was issued on December 8 for Yates on two counts of abandoning and endangering a child without intent to return.
