A Lake Charles, Louisiana woman is in the Calcasieu Parish Jail on child desertion charges.
Kayla Barbery is accused of leaving her three-year old and nine-month old children unattended in a casino hotel room for over 12 hours.
Deputies say they were dispatched after the hotel operator received numerous calls from the three-year old via the hotel room’s phone. Deputies add hotel workers later found the children in the hotel hallway.
Investigators say Barbery admitted to them she left the children alone in the room.
