A Houston woman has been arrested after her two young children were found left alone in disgusting conditions.

On Dec. 21, authorities say Denisse Urias Vargas, 21, left her two children -- ages three and one -- alone in a filthy apartment covered with trash and bugs. Officials also found exposed medication and a trash can overflowing with used diapers in the home.
