Wichita police arrested a woman who they say left nine young children at a mall while she used drugs.

The children, ranging in age between less than 1 to 10 years old, were left at the Towne East Square mall Tuesday evening. Authorities say a 35-year-old woman was supposed to be watching the children but abandoned them at the mall while she smoked methamphetamine.

Mall security noticed the children walking around unsupervised. Three of the children were returned to their parents.

The other six were placed into police protective custody.

The woman was booked into the Sedgwick County jail. She faces six counts of child endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia.

WOW!!! This woman should be given a hysterectomy and never allowed around children again!!! If 3 were returned to their parents, was the other 6 hers? What in the world were the other parents thinking, leaving their kids with someone like this!! How horrible for these children, I certainly hope the SRS is looking into the parents of the children, I would have to question someone that thought it was ok to trust her with kids.
