Carlton Anderson was indicted with four counts of child abuse after he left several of his kids home alone and two twins were spotted wandering around on the freeway. The twins were picked up safely by the police which then led them to their house where police found more siblings home alone. The house was a mess, children were wearing dirty diapers, and there were broken beer bottles everywhere. The dad was no where to be seen. Around 8am he finally shows up and explains to officers that he went to pick up their mother from a bar but she refused to leave so he went drinking with a friend. That’s some responsible parenting there. wow.
