A 28-year-old mother-of-five was arrested after police said they found she left her children at home in Texas in the summer of 2018 while she traveled to South Carolina to go to the beach.
Chrystal Nichole Walraven was charged with two counts of abandoning or endangering a child, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Austin American-Statesman.
