A Villa Rica mom in trouble for leaving four young kids alone while she went to the pawn shop still hasn't come home because she's afraid now she'll go to jail. A neighbor called the cops last week when she noticed four children, ages 2 to 8, playing outside Tiffany Murphy's house with no sign of adults anywhere. Two of the children are hers, and two of them she was babysitting. When police contacted the 24-year-old Murphy, she asked whether she was going to be in trouble with the law and they told her they weren't sure but she needed to return before the children were put into DFCS custody. But she refused--and now there's an arrest warrant out for her on charges of reckless conduct and cruelty to children. Murphy told Channel 2 Action News she wants to make sure she has a lawyer before talking to police.
