The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement.
Ridgeland officers were dispatched to the Sunchase Apartment complex on William Boulevard in Ridgeland at approximately 1:30am in reference to a flooding apartment. Maintenance was contacted and they opened the apartment after no one would answer the door. Officers encountered a male child, age 2, unclothed, wandering the apartment; a female child, age 2, was in a crib asleep, as well. The bathtub was left running which had flooded the apartment and had also begun to seep through the ceiling of the apartment below.
Multiple attempts to contact a responsible adult were made with negative results. Officers took custody of the children and contacted Child Protective Services for assistance with finding proper care.
The grandmother of the children was finally contacted and she made contact with the mother, Taylor Devone Sherman, age 31. Grandmother and Sherman arrived at the Ridgeland Police Department hours later and Sherman admitted to leaving the children at home unattended for several hours.
Sherman was arrested and charged with two counts of Child Neglect-Felony. She is held without bond at the Madison County Detention Center.
The children are now safe in the custody of Child Protective Services at a foster home.

Where were both dads at?
Wait and have kids until
you and your spouse are emotionally and financially able to take care of them. This would solve so many social problems. Please!
You can bet that she was out partying at some club. Where's the baby daddy?
Madison the City - no apartments and no similar problems.
This is a sad story that isn’t over. I can only hope the children have a happy ending.
Fine example of parenting, if we were still cavemen. The throw em in the water and see how they do period of time is long gone. For anyone.
Does she even know who he/they are?
Horrible situation. Equally horrible comments.
Unlikely.

Not really.
5'-10", 189 lbs? BMI 41.
BMI 27.1. Google is easy 8:53
It’s really cute that you think she has any plans beyond her next mindless self-indulgence!
Grandma, who is likely in her mid-late 40s, probably did the same thing to her back in the 90s.
Run in the family. Mother raised by uncaring parents. How could she turn out any other way?
Check your math, Cowboy. I believe BMI for someone 5’10”, 189 lbs is 27.1.
Not that it’s relevant to this sad story—
What's horrible is people having children that should not, and society being expected to financially pay for it.
We live in a Clown World.
Maybe after her short jail stay she can pump out some more drains on society just like herself.
Fat, ugly and stupid is no way to go through life.
