Understated Headline of The Day: Duct Tape No Substitute For Babysitter, Police Say

Fair enough. But it's a bit worse than the headline suggests:

A woman accused of duct-taping her two children together and leaving them home alone has been charged with child abuse, the sheriff's office said.

Agla Nadia Vincent, 25, was arrested Monday following a seven-month investigation into whether she left her two boys, then aged 2 and 3, taped to each other while she went to work, said Lt. Annie Smith of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

...

In March, a witness heard the children crying and called the police. When military police arrived, they found the children taped in a bedroom with feces and cereal scattered on play mats on the floor, investigators said.

She was an officer at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station.

John Kerry immediately said, "See?" before being gang-tackled by Nancy Pelosi's advance team.
