A Texas mother is facing charges after she was found lying outside with her two young children in freezing temperatures.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office received a report from a 911 call concerning a woman and her children outside a location on 12062 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston at approximately 6:40 a.m. on Tuesday.
The caller reported that the three were lying on a sidewalk during what weather forecasters described as historic snowfall in the area.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered the woman with her 1-year-old and 2-month-old children. Both infants were experiencing injuries related to the cold weather and were promptly given assistance by the sheriff’s office.
