Thankfully, the child was unharmed, but police described the situation as disgusting and entirely unacceptable. Christina Vitui and Joshua Harris were both arrested and charged with child neglect, thirdderee felony.

And this case serves as a reminder that some decisions carry consequences far beyond the moment.
