Looks like a Georgia mother has found herself in a jail cell after being accused of kicking her children out of the house multiple times, forcing them to sleep in the rain. 

Richmond County Sheriff’s Office reportedly arrived to the home on March 23 and once they arrived they noticed two minors on the front porch, locked out of the house while their mother Yolanda Brooks was chilling inside. Deputies said, while walking up to the home, employees of Georgia Crisis pulled up to talk to the kids. The crisis workers told deputies they were called by Brooks to evaluate the children for mental illness, but when Brooks spoke with authorities she said she didn’t call them nor did she call 911.

According to the report, she allegedly told officers that she previously contacted the sheriffs office to remove her kids and they never came, so she said she was going to “do it her way.” 

Georgia Crisis workers stated that the children said they have been sleeping outside of the home on the trampoline for the past two days in the rain.

Deputies told Brooks she was being arrested for locking the children out of the home for the seventh time in the last two weeks. Officials said, they warned her on all six occasions and contacted the Department of Family and Child Services on all those occasions.

Brooks was taken to the Richmond County Jail. The crisis workers said there were no indications of illnesses for either child.

Under Georgia law, child neglect is a criminal offense, and it can result in both fines and imprisonment.

The severity of the offense and the potential sentence will depend on the specific circumstances of the case, including the age of the child, the extent of harm caused by the neglect, and any previous convictions.

For example, under Georgia law, if a person is found guilty of child neglect in the first degree, they may face imprisonment of up to 5 years and a fine of up to $1,000. However, if the neglect resulted in serious physical harm or death to the child, the sentence can be much more severe.
