Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours. Of course, for some parents, this whole time is spent worrying whether or not the child is alright and being adequately cared for — others still might be able to enjoy their time but be relieved when they return home to their offspring.

Not so for this couple; they were more than happy to be rid of the kids for a night, going as far as to ghost the stranger who was watching their children so that they could keep living it up on the town. The couple returned home around two hours late after a few too many drinks and then proceeded to stiff the babysitter on their pay.
This is the kind of situation where you would be well within your rights to just call the police and declare the children abandoned (as we have seen done in other stories.)
