Stripper Goes To Work, Leaves Kids Home Alone

PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a mother of two has been
charged with child neglect for going to her job at a strip club and
leaving her daughters home alone.

Authorities said Fiordaliza Collado-Ramirez, 26, was arrested
Thursday night at the Bare Assets Gentleman's Club after neighbors
called police to report that the children were at home
unsupervised.

Police officers responding to the apartment in Palm Bay found
two girls, ages 4 and 5.

Authorities said Collado-Ramirez told officers that she normally
has a baby sitter on certain days but she had not made arrangements
for child care on Thursday. She remained in jail Friday.
It was not immediately known if she had an attorney.
The Department of Children and Family Services took custody of
the children.
