A Florida woman really wanted to go to the Lil Wayne concert at the Cruzan Amphitheatre Sunday night, but she apparently had no babysitter to drop off her five year old and three year old while she went.

Ever determined, she decided to leave her kids in the car while she attended the show.

Problem solved!

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Brittany Harris brought her kids with her to the show, parked the car, and left them there while she went to see Lil Wayne perform.

A Cruzan employee happened to spot the kids wandering the venue's parking lot filled with cars and about 9,000 concert goers at around 7:00 p.m.

They were then taken to PBSO deputies who were there to patrol the concert.

When the show was over, authorities caught up with Harris, who denied having brought her kids and leaving them unattended.

She later admitted that she did indeed leave them in car so she could go to the concert.

Harris ironically retweeted rapper T.I.'s tweet, which featured the hashtag #Amerasmostwanted before going to the concert:

West Palm Beach FL 2nite #AmericasMostWanted
— T.I. (@Tip) July 14, 2013

According to her twitter feed, Harris is a model.

She was arrested on two counts of child neglect. Her two kids were taken custody by the Department of Families and Children following her arrest.
