Mother arrested after children wander neighborhood for food


COLORADO SPRINGS (AP) — Five children are now in foster care and a woman working as a security guard faces charges of child abuse after four of her children were found wandering their neighborhood in search of food. A 15-month-old boy was found in a crib, in a home where the children were left under the care of the oldest sibling, an 8-year-old.|
The 15-month-old was extremely dehydrated and malnourished but appeared to be in stable condition Thursday, a day after he was found.
Thirty-year-old Lisa Williford was jailed on suspicion of felony child abuse and released on $50,000 bond.
The children were aged 8, 4, 3, 2, and 15-months old.
