3 Infants Saved From Fire, Mom Arrested

2-MONTH-OLD TWINS AND A 3-YR.-OLD BOY were left at home alone Saturday afternoon while their mother Christina Page, 28, went shopping in Webster, Massachusetts.

When she left the children, she also left a pot of food cooking on the stove. When the lady who lives upstairs smelled smoke, she came down to the apartment and found the kitchen wall on fire. As she was talking to the 911 operator she said that she thought there were children inside.

Responding police officers and a fire officer arrived before the fire engines and they successfully found the children and got them out safely. While they were there, the mother came home and she was arrested. She is being charged with on three counts each of wantonly permitting substantial bodily injury to a child and wanton reckless behavior causing risk to a child. She was held on $540 bail over the weekend and will be arraigned today. The children have been placed under the care of Social Services.
