It has not been revealed if the women are friends or relatives, but they and all of their children lived in the same apartment.
Padilla-Hernández's children are 2, 3 and 7 years old, and Molina's are 1, 8 and 9 years old.
On Wednesday afternoon, a maintenance worker at the apartment complex where the women live found Padilla-Hernandez's 2-year-old daughter in the pool area without adult supervision. The worker called police and told officers the girl was barefoot and wearing dirty clothes.
When officers arrived at the complex they found the girl's older brother and the little one took them to the apartment where the other minors were.

Molina's one-year-old son was found in a crib eating his own feces. The other children were dirty and infested with lice.
Molina was not present when officers were at the complex, but Padilla-Hernandez returned and told investigators that he was filing his taxes.
