COMMERCE - A Georgia couple got so carried away with snagging Black Friday deals, authorities say they left their kids alone in a shopping cart in Commerce.

Banks County Sheriff Charles Chapman says 35-year-old Mario Navarro and 31-year-old Esmeralda Elias have been charged with reckless conduct.

Chapman said the two left their 9-year-old and 9-month-old children in a shopping cart at the Banks Crossing Walmart so they could go shopping.

Chapman said he figures the couple thought the kids would slow them down. The children were not harmed.
