BREAKING 4 children may have been alone for days before they were found in Spring, sheriff says
SPRING, Texas -- Four children, between the ages of 1 and 4 years old, may have been alone for up to two days before they were found by a couple of teenagers late Thursday night, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
According to an update from Gonzalez, at about 10:50 p.m., teens saw three of the children running around in the street in the 4000 block of Cypress Hill Drive. One of the kids was naked. Others had on diapers that were falling off.When deputies arrived, the 4-year-old boy told them,"I think my mommy is dead."
A 1-year-old boy was found inside a three-bedroom house and appeared to have fallen from his crib, authorities said. The sheriff's office told ABC13 there were signs the children tried to feed each other because the refrigerator door was open.Deputies said they did find the mother at a hotel about 30 minutes away in the Highway 290 and Highway 6 area.It's unclear if he's the father of any of the children, and Gonzalez said he didn't have more details on why the woman left her kids.
Investigators talked to the children, kept them warm and gave them food. All of the kids appeared to be in good health, officials said.Follow Courtney Fischer on
