Mother of Five Learns Dangers of American Idol Addiction

American Idol, Alaina WhitakerIt’s hard to pay attention to anything else when Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are picking at each other on , or when one of the Idol contestants is badly belting out a tune. But for the sake of your children…maybe you should at least get DVR? You’re never gonna believe this one, folks.

Twenty-five year old Sheila Brooks, mother of five, was watching the popular show while her three-year-old daughter almost drowned to death in the family bathtub. That really puts the into perspective, right? Brooks has not been charged with any offense, though the child was taken to the hospital and placed under critical condition.

Here’s how it went down: Brooks put her three-year-old and one-year-old in the tub (approx. nine inches of water) and walked into a different room of the home to get some after-bath clothing. Two other children were watching Idol in the mother’s bedroom, and Brooks joined in until she realized she’d forgotten the two bathtub-bound children. Mom sent one of the kids to take the others out of the tub, but when the child found one of her siblings submerged in the water, she called for Brooks.

This is actually a tragic story, and I don’t mean to sound like I’m poking fun. There are some things in this world a little more important than whether or not your favorite young diva gets sent packing on a show, folks.
