LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two parents whose children died in a 2012 mobile-home fire have been sentenced to a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years.

KSNV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1Mw1pIw ) that 29-year-old Amy Hatzenfiller and 25-year-old Shane Gouailhardou both pleaded guilty to three counts of child abuse. They admit they were high on methamphetamine when a fire broke out in their trailer. They escaped but the three children died in the blaze.

At the sentencing, Hatzenfiller said she blames the drug for the accident and that she wakes up every morning feeling guilty for the fire.
