It's understood that when the children were found, there was no food left, no heating, no gas, and the house was in a unkempt condition.
A mother who left her two children home alone for THREE WEEKS while she flew abroad to a wedding has escaped prosecution.
Her children, one under the age of ten, were left to fend for themselves while she was out of the country.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of child neglect and her children were initially then placed with foster parents.
She left the family home in the Salford area in January to go on holiday.
The mum was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport when she returned to the UK, the Manchester Evening News reported.
It is understood that the children continued to go to school while their mother was away.
Now Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that the woman has been issued with a police caution and will not face court action.
The M.E.N understands that when the children were found there was no food left, no heating, no gas, and the house was in a unkempt condition.
The mother had not intended to return until later in February but came back early after being alerted that police and children’s services officers were investigating the children being left alone.
In a statement issued by GMP at the time they said said: “A woman has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect. The female was arrested having re-entered the country in February 2015. The female has been bailed for further enquiries.
“Two children are now in the care of the local authority. It is believed that the female left the UK in mid January 2015.”
Both children were initially placed in foster care, but it is understood they have now been returned to their mother.
A spokeswoman for the council said: “We are continuing to work with the family.”
