DES MOINES, IOWA - A Des Moines mother was arrested this morning after police say they found her children outside her home in the cold, and of them, a two-year-old naked and covered in feces.

25-year-old Destinee Miller is charged with three counts of child endangerment.  

Police say they were called to her home at 106 Fulton Drive on Monday morning on report that three small children were seen playing outside the home, in the cold, alone.

Police say they found the four, two and one-year-old children outside alone, with the two-year old naked and covered in feces.

Inside the home police say they found a large amount of waste from seven dogs.
