A Texas mother is wanted for abandoning her two young children in an unkempt home for six weeks and sending them meals remotely, according to authorities. Rayshawna Deanna Dowdell, 34, allegedly left her 11-year-old child to take care of her 6-year-old sister for over a month at their disheveled home in Katy without proper food, according to Harris County court documents obtained by The Post. A concerned woman reported to police in late March that the kids were staying with her after they confided in her at a neighborhood park that their mother had been gone for an “extended” period, according to a probable cause affidavit.
