Three kids were found safe after they were reported missing in South LA's Central-Alameda neighborhood. The mother told authorities the family was experiencing homelessness.

LOS ANGELES - After an hours-long search, the Los Angeles Police Department found three children who were reported missing overnight in South Los Angeles.

The mother of the children told authorities that she left her children, ages 10, 7, and 3, alone in a car in an industrial area on Adams Boulevard and Compton Avenue around 10 p.m. Thursday. When she returned, the children were gone.

After an estimated 10 hours, the children were found safe by authorities.
