Local woman faces felony charges for allegedly leaving children unattended while attending a late-night event

ST. CROIX — A woman is now facing felony child neglect charges after her daughter told police that she was left alone with her little brother while their mother went to a party. 

Last Thursday, May 9, police received a call about a 3-year-old child found walking in the Breezewood Villas apartment complex. Two officers on patrol were dispatched to investigate, and at about 10:30 p.m., the officers spoke with a neighbor who said she saw the toddler around 9 o’clock the same night. The neighbor quickly realized that the child was alone and was only wearing a shirt and shoes. The good Samaritan fitted the child with a diaper and called 911.READ MORE:
