Mom Abandoned Kids For Weeks; So Why Is She Smiling?

Police located Yates last week in Mobile, Alabama, where they believe she was sharing a home with a male partner, according to People. "She was pictured in handcuffs with a big smile on her face and seemed unconcerned by the charges against her for allegedly endangering her own children," Roman Forest police chief Stephen Carlisle tells ABC13. "She might have been acting for the camera, but I'm not sure if she was playing a part or what. She aspired to a smile. She cared how she appeared. She apparently inquired about applying lipstick before the photo was taken, according to the arresting officer."
