Three little girls, all under the age of the five, deputies say, just dropped off and abandoned by their mother outside an empty house. One was left sitting in a car seat.
"No shoes, and clothes were kind of big on them, one of them had to go potty, it was sad."
She says she comforted the crying girls,who told her that their mother, 23 year old Annastasia Velez had left them there. She called deputies.
Neighbor William Fletcher says, "They were just walking and there would walk awhile and they would stand up, you know like they didn't know where they was going themselves."
Family members say finally told the children's father, Lazaro Santa-Ana where they were, and he picked them up.
They say the couple argued and she threatened to harm the children. After deputies located the kids, she was arrested. Neighbors say they can't shake the image of the kids being tossed aside.
