A woman accused of duct-taping her two children together and leaving them home alone has been charged with child abuse, the sheriff's office said.
Agla Nadia Vincent, 25, was arrested Monday following a seven-month investigation into whether she left her two boys, then aged 2 and 3, taped to each other while she went to work, said Lt. Annie Smith of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Vincent was a four-year naval officer at the time and worked at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station. She completed her service and was discharged in August, naval base spokesman Rick Cruz said.
In March, a witness heard the children crying and called the police. When military police arrived, they found the children taped in a bedroom with feces and cereal scattered on play mats on the floor, investigators said.

Besides, you're not allowed to duct-tape a child below the age of six.

LOL
I know wemen who duct tape their boobs.
Plus, I used to tape a bow on my oldest daughters head when she was a baby. She had no hair to hold the bow. (I know I'm a bad bad mom).
Duct tape...1 million uses, and counting!
She is guilty of doing what many parents have been thinking :)
That is just way over the top! Toddlers?? Masking tape would have worked just as well.
Yeah, well, you know we just thought about duck taping them to the bed long enough to take a nap. We didn't want to leave them there all night alone in their own feces while we went out hoing around.
