On September 21 in Johnston, Iowa, police conducted a welfare check at an apartment they were called to. They found four children eating dinner, but they didn’t find an adult at all. The 12-year-old twins seemed to be caring for six and seven-year-old girls.
They claimed that their mom left on a trip and wouldn’t be back until October 1 -- a full 11 days later.
Police found out that their mother Erin Lee Macke had indeed boarded a plane to head out to Germany to visit her brother and his daughter.
The Johnston Police called her and asked her why she left her children alone. She responded that she couldn’t find anyone to take care of the kids, and she was confident that they could take care of themselves for the 11 days she would be gone.
The police were shocked by her brazen, unaware attitude and ordered her to return home immediately to face the consequences of her actions. She was immediately arrested upon arrival and taken to the Polk County Jail.
Bit of a difference.
