A Texas mom is accused of leaving her two young children to fend for themselves while she went on vacation — and not for the first time.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office records show that Lakesha Woods Williams, 29, is being held in detention on $25,000 bond as of Saturday. She allegedly flew to Florida to take a cruise while her kids — an 8-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl — were left alone in their apartment.

According to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, peace officers with the Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 5 responded to a call on April 9 to check on two children in an apartment building in Houston that local ABC affiliate KTRK described as a luxury high-rise. The witness who called in the request told officials that she was “made aware by other residents in the apartment complex” that the kids’ mother had left days earlier.

“The witness stated that other residents had observed the juveniles’ mother leaving with luggage and bags on approximately April 4, 2024, around noon, and never saw her return to the location,” the affidavit says.
