(WESH) A Florida woman is in trouble after police said she went to the West Coast on a vacation trip and left her three young children home alone.

Naiele Santa Ana Olivas, 29, bonded out of jail Friday on child neglect charges.

She was arrested Thursday for allegedly neglecting three children, ages 11, 9 and 8.
