A woman is in custody after authorities say she left three children alone in three different places around West Palm Beach on Monday.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says 36-year old Miesha Perkins abandoned an eight-year-old at a gas station along Okeechobee Boulevard.
Four hours later, West Palm Beach Police received a call about the same woman leaving a three year old at a Publix on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, before taking off. And about fifteen minutes after that incident, police spotted the woman's car on Palm Beach, where officers say she walked away from the vehicle, leaving a one year old inside with the doors locked.
Sheriff's Officials say Perkins told detectives that she and the kids were on the way to Palm Beach County from Louisiana, along with the father of the children. But the man left the car at some point.
She faces three counts of child neglect. The children are in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.
