Mom accused of leaving 3 kids home alone during 6-day vacation

VIRGINIA (WTXF) - A Virginia mother is facing charges after authorities say she left her three young children home alone while she vacationed in Mexico for six days.

Aida Margaret Stovall, 30, is accused of leaving her 11-year-old and 10-year-old twins home while she went on a vacation in Cancun, according to WTKR.

Stovall reportedly thought it was enough to ask neighbors to check in on the kids from time to time during her six day trip.

When Stovall returned north of the border last month, she was picked up in Miami and sent back to Virginia by authorities. She was arrested and charged with three counts of child neglect.
