So, without further ado, here is the other story (which can actually be described as funny moreso than depressing):
A mother in Ohio was caught having sex with a man in her car while her kids (3 yrs. & 1 yr.) were in the backseat. She was charged with: "...child endangering, public indecency, drug paraphernalia and driving while intoxicated." The real kicker? When answering for her alleged actions in court, Danica Wallace said, "I spilled beer all over my pants and when I went to change my pants, the police pulled up and said that I was engaged in sex with my kids in the back seat." So much better. She claims that she is not a bad mother, and in the next sentence says that while she wasn't having sex, "I do admit I was drinking with my kids in the car." What a great mom!
