Three children were left home alone while their mother went to court.
When officers arrived to the apartment on Thunderbolt Lane, a nine year old answered the door.
A newborn was left crying on a mattress on the floor.
The older child told officers that his mother didn’t leave a phone or anyway to contact her.
28 year old Jasmine Stewart returned home after officers found her number and called her.
She told them that she had been to the store for only 15 minutes, but didn’t have any groceries with her.
She was booked into the Vanderburgh County jail and has since been released.
