A father and mother in Louisiana are facing criminal charges for allegedly abandoning their 15-year-old daughter in the city of Shreveport, where cops found her last week “alone in a filthy hotel room” and “surviving on her own,” according to police officials.
When officers found the teenage victim last Wednesday, she was allegedly the size of a 10-year-old after being ditched by her parents, Carey Herring, 52, and Angela Herring, 50, for two weeks in late March, according to local NBC affiliate KTAL. She was at the hotel where the Herrings left her for at least two weeks in “deplorable” conditions with no supervision or showers, cops say.
