Houston Mother Abandons Children for Cruise
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant cruise industry news items for April 13. The first report details the arrest of Houston mother Leesa Woods Williams. Authorities allege that Williams left her two children, ages eight and six, alone in their apartment to go on a Caribbean cruise departing from Miami. Neighbors reported her departure with luggage, and a subsequent welfare check by police revealed the children in a disordered apartment. Although the children were found in good health and released to an aunt, Williams faces charges of abandoning a child with intent to return. She was arrested upon her return after initially providing a false identity. The report also covers a fatal accident at Honolulu's Pier 2. A shuttle bus driver accidentally accelerated, pinning several Carnival Miracle passengers against a concrete wall. One 68 year old woman died from her injuries, while five others sustained serious injuries. Carnival Corporation confirmed the incident involving nine guests. Finally, the news segment notes that cruise line stocks experienced a decline on Friday, with Carnival Corporation and Norwegian both seeing significant percentage drops in their values.
