obviously there are missing pieces to the story, but I can kinda see where she was going with it, she just did it completely wrong.

Two siblings were unexpectedly dropped off at the Cy-Fair Fire Department by their mother Friday night.
The 8-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl told Cy-Fair firefighters that their mother said she could “no longer handle them.”
Late Friday night, the kids’ mother stood inside the lobby of CPS, waiting and hoping to talk with her two children. The kids were in another room being interviewed by caseworkers.
“She dropped the children off and said, ‘You need to learn to behave or something to that effect,’” said Lt. M. Young of the Pct. 4 Constable’s office. “The children were a little non-descriptive about exactly what she said and (then) she drove off.”
Young said he and his staff did their homework, called the district attorney's office and learned that the mom did not break the law.
“In this particular case there are not going to be any criminal charges,” said Young.
The children were old enough to tell the deputies how to contact their mom.
Officials called the mother, and she was interviewed. The children were taken in a patrol car to CPS.
The mother told 11 News that she was just trying to teach the kids a lesson. But late Friday, it was clear she was the one that learned something new.

It's not illegal to abandon your children if you leave them at a police station, hospital, or fire station. They came up with that law to keep people from tossing babies in dumpsters.

I think maybe the kids got to her just the SLIGHTEST bit. :suspect
I'm thinkin' Prozac for this one. Maybe some Valium.

Probably something along the same lines of the Baby Moses law.

Although not the same circumstance...the principle is the same.

Thats my assumption anyway.

Even women who abandon their infants at fire depts can still get their kids back.

Except the moses law in Texas is for children 60 days and younger. Further, you have to actually turn the child over to someone at those locations making it clear you are doing so - not dump them off and leave it for the kids to explain what is going on.
