New video obtained by Channel 5 News shows three Brownsville police officers feeding children that they say were left alone by their mom.

It was that moment, Brownsville police worked to protect and serve the smallest members of their community. Police say the children who are two and 10-years-old were left home alone.

"It was one of the abandoned kids who called. They stated that the mother had left them unattended," Brownsville police officer Kazzandra Guerrero said.

Guerrero was one of three Brownsville police officers who responded to the late night welfare check. When they arrived, the mother, identified as Maria Isabel Platas, was already back at the apartment.

During their investigation, officers found she had left two of her kids home and took her other three children with her.
