When police arrived, they said they found three of the kids outside, the front door to her apartment opened, and an 8-year-old inside with a baby, who wears a colostomy bag.
HOUSTON, Texas -- A Greenspoint-area mother, Katerin Celeste Torres Martinez, is accused of abandoning her five children.
Authorities say Torres Martinez left all five of her children home alone for several hours. One of which is an infant, who wears a colostomy bag. Officers arrived at about 3:30 p.m. to find the 1-and-a-half-year-old girl walking in the parking lot with no shoes. The 3 and 4-year-old boys were outside playing, the front door was open and the 8-year-old was inside with the baby.
CPS told an officer on the scene that they had closed a case three days before the arrest for the mother neglecting the medical care of the baby and not taking him to doctors' appointments.
