The 4 WILLIAMS children - 1, 5, 6, 9 yo - Riviera Beach (N of W Palm Beach) FL

Woman accused of leaving kids alone while she worked as stripper

A Riviera Beach woman has been charged with four counts of child neglect for allegedly leaving her children alone at night while she is at work as a stripper, according to Riviera Beach police.

Corinthian Williams, 24, whose occupation on the police report is listed as "stripper," was arrested late Monday night. She was released from Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday afternoon under her own supervision.

The state Department of Children & Families has taken custody of four children, ages 1, 5, 6 and 9, police said.

According to the report, Riviera Beach police and a DCF investigator first went to Williams' house in September 2010 after someone called about her leaving the children alone at night, the police report says.

The police report details how a caller at that time said Williams beat the kids, was always drinking, and the bedroom was "filthy with clothes, trash, bottles and plates." They also said the smallest child had an ear infection and hadn't been taking medicine.

When police and DCF arrived at the house Monday, the 5-year-old opened the door while Williams was found in her bedroom sleeping.

The police report says after investigators and police told Williams why they were there, she held up the 1-year-old child and told them, "take her. I don't wanna."

The child had a "heavily soiled" diaper, a runny nose and skin irritations, the report says.

The 9-year-old told police that Williams had male guests over and left them alone while they were in the bedroom.

Williams told DCF and police that she had thoughts of killing herself and needed help taking care of the children.

She was transported to Columbia Hospital in West Palm Beach for mental evaluation under the state's Baker Act, the report says.

And yet she keeps spitting out babies. Obviously she can't comprehend abstinence but surely she is capable of understanding birth control. It's idiot proof.
