A mother who allegedly left her children to die in a Melbourne house fire has been tracked down living in a tiny town on the NSW-Victoria border. Shania Lee, 25, of Tarneit in Melbourne's west, is accused of ignoring her children's screams while watching the house on CCTV as she drove away, a court heard last week. Siblings Izabel, 5, and Lyvia, 2, and their three-year-old brother Kalais were pulled unconscious from the rear of a property in Sydenham in Melbourne 's north-west after neighbours raised the alarm on September 8 last year.
