The mother left the house for hours.. and came back to find her six children charred!

Six children from the same family, aged between 6 months and 11 years, were burned to death after a fire broke out Monday in their home in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, according to the regional prosecutor's office.

The office stated that "the mother of the children lit a gas stove in the morning and then went to the mill, and when she returned, the house was on fire," where the children were present.

The house where the children's bodies were found is located in Coquiyan de las Fierce, in the Mexican region of Oaxaca, which the federal government considers one of the three most marginalized and poorest regions in Mexico.
