Damn shame! Over the summer, Shanesha Taylor was arrested and charged with felony accounts of child endangerment after she had left her two children an a 100 degree heated vehicle for a job interview. Taylor had the world on her side – a NJ woman had begun a kickstarter campaign, and raised money to the tune of $115,000. When Taylor showed up to court, the judged agreed that she would do no jail time IF she put at minimum $40,000 of that money in a trust account for her children – she couldn’t even do that.
Hit the jump to find out what this woman spent the funds on.

Now, this that s**t I don’t like. All of the crying, boohooing and after being thrown a life line, Shanesha Taylor has spent about $4000 to $6000 a month on nothing, but here’s the kicker – the nothing is a lump sum of funds dedicated to support her baby daddy’s rap album. This is what I would like to know. Where in the hell was her baby daddy when she was homeless and didn’t have a baby-sitter for her kids. All of a sudden, the kids’ father is around when you pockets are lined. Sad.
“I know money has been spent on a whole lot more than basic living needs,” says donor McKinney.
Taylor, however, failed to put the money in the trust fund by the deadline imposed by the judge, throwing away the “deal of a lifetime,” said her attorney Benjamin Taylor.
Prosecutors charged that Taylor was spending more than $4,000 a month on non-essential items, and now a former supporter of hers says she even spent some dough on a rap album.
“We had someone call my office and alert her attorney to the fact that she spent $6,000 at a music studio in Tempe to finish her baby daddy’s rap album,” Reverend Jarrett Maupin told ABC. “That’s not what people gave her that money for.”
Maupin believes her money may have run out — and Taylor is once again trying to raise cash, according to Fox 10.
“I feel bamboozled and used a little bit, but I don’t regret it because on its face she was what she was,” Maupin told the station. “Everyone had sympathy for her, but what she’s become is something quite different.”
