Father Arrested After Leaving 7-Year-Old Son Home Alone With 19 Snakes

We don’t know why anyone would want to own so many snakes, but then again we also don’t know why a parent would leave their kid alone with dozens of reptiles, some of which were uncaged.

Police in Suffolk, Virginia, have charged 28-year-old Emmanuel Velasquez with cruelty and injuries to children after he left his 7-year-old son home alone with a total of 21 reptiles — and two pit bulls — while he went to work.

We don’t even know where to begin, but first of all, isn’t 7-years-old TOO young to be left home alone?!?

And ust days earlier, the boy’s 5-year-old brother was found wondering the streets alone. WTF?!?
