Yesterday we wrote about Dalisha Adams, the 26-year-old mom who abandoned her two girls, aged 5 and 3, on a Brooklyn sidewalk Sunday afternoon (fortunately, the girls were found safe several hours later). Turns out Adams’ Facebook page was uploaded with a photo of a seemingly naked man holding a bottle of champagne mere hours after she abandoned her children. (Adams was arrested later that night.)
Now the girls’ grandmother, Bertha Davis, is saying the whole thing was a misunderstanding and she’s asking the Administration for Children’s Services to place them in her care. According to reports, Davis lives in the complex next to where the children were left and she said Adams must have intended to leave the girls in her care.
Meanwhile, Davis, 52, only realized what had happened to her granddaughters when she saw their picture on the news. “Why would she do that to my grandkids? For what reason?” she asked, despite calling the incident a misunderstanding.
Shawn Cobbs is the girls’ father, and Adams has accused him of domestic violence several times. According to Davis, he and Adams had an argument over the kids on Sunday. “She wanted him to take the kids, and he told her he didn’t have a stable place to take the kids,” Davis said. “She must have got mad, dressed them kids and brought them here.”
Fortunately, there were no signs of abuse. But that doesn’t change the fact that two innocent little girls were left to fend for themselves at a busy Brooklyn intersection.

Fact: If you have children, say GOODBYE TO BOOTIE CALLS.
Not quite. Having kids doesn’t mean your life is over, and that if you (heaven forbid) end up a single parent you can’t start dating again.
What the problem here is, bitch be crazy AND unbelievably irresponsible.
If you want to date, fine. But don’t ever do it at the expense of your kids.
There’s a very fine balance you have to respect, and it’s maintained by keeping your kids as your number one priority.
Dating as a single parent is different, and requires a lot of care and consideration.
Is the guy/girl just a short fling? Spend time with them only when it doesn’t infringe on time with the kids, and for the love of god don’t bring your date around them! No kids need a new Father/Mother every week.
If there a long term commitment, then gradually work them into your family. It’s a big step for your new partner to all of a sudden become a step parent. That’s something that you as a family now have to work on.
Sorry for the rant, but this is coming from the experience of a Teen/Single Mom and it gets tiring after the demands that you forfeit all social/romantic connections once you have a child.
I’m still a person with needs and desires, as we all are. The key is to remembering what your main responsibility is.
Something this woman in the article has very sadly forgotten.
