The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrested a woman who investigators say abandoned three young children in three different areas of town on Monday.

The sheriff's office initially took a call at round 5 a.m. from someone who said a woman in a white 2018 Chevy Equinox just abandoned an 8-year-old child at a gas station on Okeechobee Boulevard.

Four hours later, the sheriff's office said West Palm Beach Police took another call that a woman abandoned a 3-year-old child at a Publix store in West Palm Beach.

Fifteen minutes later, the sheriff's office said West Palm Beach Police said someone spotted the woman's car at the corner of North Ocean Boulevard and Sunrise in Palm Beach. When police arrived, officers saw the woman walk away from the white Chevy Equinox, abandoning a 1-year-old child inside the locked SUV.

Police arrested the woman right away. She's been identified as 36-year-old Miesha Perkins of Louisiana. Authorities arrested her on three counts of child neglect.

The sheriff's office said Perkins and the father of the children were on their way to Palm Beach County from Louisiana. At some point during the drive, the father was removed from the car. Once Perkins arrived in Palm Beach County, investigators said she abandoned the children.

I really need the courts to take this serious.

Anything could have happened to these children.

A one-year-old and three-year-old have no way to protect themselves.

I hope the eight-year-old gives the whole story and this woman never gets a chance to abandon or endanger these children again.

And if the man is a dad to any of these kids he is no better for leaving them alone with her.
 
She is not the mother of the children
A woman accused of abandoning three children at three different places in Florida apparently is not the mother of any of them.

A Louisiana woman charged with child neglect refused to appear before a judge Tuesday, but her first appearance went on without her.

Detectives say Miesha Perkins abandoned three small children across Palm Beach County before being arrested in Palm Beach Monday night.

They found an 8-year-old old girl at a Shell Service station on Okeechobee Blvd.

Perkins told detectives the girl took her key so she kicked her and her belongings out of the car and took off.

Then they said she left behind a three-year-old boy who went inside the Rosemary Avenue Publix to get a soda.

Perkins took the 1-year-old girl with her to Palm Beach but police there say she allegedly left the toddler locked in this car with a broken window. Police said they found her walking away.

The prosecutor and public defender told the judge Perkins has mental health issues.

Perkins' family told WPBF 25 News: "She's not homicidal or suicidal, she's just in a position of needing treatment where she can be housed long-term. Her being incarcerated or in jail will not support her treatment."

Perkins told detectives she was traveling with the childrens' father from their home in Hammond, Louisiana, but got in an argument and let him out near Orlando.

"We don't know what happened to the father of the children? He was left at some gas station on the turnpike?" asked Judge Charles Burton.

According to the children's great aunt, the children's mother died in January, and Perkins, the mother's best friend showed up at the house the next day to help. Why she and the father were traveling to Florida is a mystery, but Perkins' family said she used to live here and often came here in times of stress.

Perkins went to Loyola University College of Law in Louisiana and has three children of her own that relatives are caring for. Her family said they are doing all they can do and have had difficulty getting Perkins appropriate help.

The children's family said this could have been much worse and just want the children home.

According to the sheriff's office, the FHP in Orlando made contact with the children's father.
