28-year-old Brandi Jo Roman has no business being responsible for children. The Tampa, FL, mother was arrested for leaving her two children in an unlocked vehicle so she could marvel at strippers while drunk. Police found her 3-year-old daughter and 5-year-old daughter inside of her Ford F-150, where they also found an open bottle of Four Loko. The car stank of liquor.

They caught up with Roman at the Mons Venus strip club (one of the 50 best strip clubs in America, admittedly). She wasn't hard to find—she was right near the stage, cash in hand. Police were certain it was her after she began slurring her words. She smelled drunk, and the nail in the coffin was her inability to stand up. 

She told police she left her kids in the car so they could watch a movie. The police didn't buy it. Both kids had scratches on them, and are now in the care of the Florida Department of Children and Families. Roman is being held at Hillsborough County Jail.
