I post this [story](http://wtop.com/national/2017/08/baby-sitters-accused-of-putting-flea-infested-kids-in-u-haul/) primarily to note (truly!) that they were taking the kids to a flea market.

Also, the mugshots are … well, I guess no one’s at their best in that situation.

Maybe they misunderstood what a flea market is and was looking to sell the crop the kids were harboring.
