Shopping couple allegedly leave kids alone in cart

[December 02, 2009]  COMMERCE, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia couple got so carried away with snagging Black Friday deals that authorities said they left their kids alone in a shopping cart.

Banks County Sheriff Charles Chapman told WSB radio that a 35-year-old man and and 31-year-old woman were charged with reckless conduct.

Chapman said the two left their 9-year-old and 9-month-old children in a shopping cart at the Banks Crossing Walmart so they could go shopping.

Chapman said he figured the couple thought the kids would slow them down. The children were not harmed.
