A young mother in Australia has been charged after allegedly leaving her three children home alone the night a fire tore through their house. Two little girls later died and their brother remains in the hospital.
The tragedy happened on the evening of 8 September in Sydenham, a suburb of Victoria. Emergency services rushed to the property just after 9.30 p.m. and pulled a five-year-old girl, a three-year-old boy, and a one-year-old girl from the burning home. All three were treated at the scene and taken to the hospital, but heartbreakingly, the two girls died days later on 11 September.
