A woman was arrested after State Police say she left her kids alone in Millbrook on Monday.

Danielle Hughes, 38, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Troopers say they were contacted by her former husband who said he came to Hughes' residence and found the children outside of the home looking for their mother. Hughes told police that she had a babysitter set for the evening before she left the house.

She was issued an appearance ticked for the misdemeanor charge and is set to be back in Town of Washington Justice Court on Saturday.
