A mother from Birmingham, England, has been given a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to six counts of willful abandonment for straight up leaving her six children, ages 3-14, for six weeks while she went on vacation with a dude she met online.

Got a getaway planned for Memorial Day weekend? Are you pinning all your hopes on the rejuvenating effects of trip to the beach, or perhaps a whirlwind 72 hours in the mountains? Not to rain on your parade or anything, but enjoy the glow while you can because it's got the lifespan of a mayfly.

They also brought their moms Tina and Gloria, as well as some bodyguards, just like you or I would do on our anniversary vacations, right?

Later, under duress, he blurts out, shockingly, that the baby has died—and the remainder of the film deals with the consequences. As it turns out, that premise is more realistic than you might have imagined: 26%…
