Mother apparently leaves three young children by themselves

A 42-year-old woman faces a count of child neglect after reportedly leaving her children, ages 8, 5, and 21 months, by themselves.

The neglect happened on Sunday at an apartment complex.  A concerned neighbor spotted the children wandering the complex without supervision and called for help.

Police say when they arrived at the scene Michaelle Madrid was no where to be found.  None of her children knew where she was either.

“Madrid left the home without her purse or wallet, so officers were able to identify her,” police said.  “Calls to her cellphone went straight to voicemail.”

DHS was then called to take the children into custody.

Several hours later, police received a call from Madrid.

“Madrid had returned to the apartment and wanted to know where her children were,” police said.

No word on where Madrid had gone.  She has been booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
