Toddler found in the street after mother abandoned her to go and party
A three-year-old girl was rescued from a street in southeastern Brazil after she was found wandering along crying for her 19-year-old mother, who left her home to go to a party. Construction workers were repairing a street Santo Andre, Sao Paulo during the earlier hours of Sunday when they spotted the child wearing only a diaper and called the military police. Surveillance video footage showed the barefoot girl reaching a corner at the intersection Pero Vaz Street when she stopped as a car sped by at 1:31am. She stood over a manhole cover for a couple of seconds and went to cross the street when she began to cry. 'I want my mommy,' she repeatedly said. The construction crew alerted the police and got help from local residents, who provided clothing to cover up the girl. 'She was blue from the cold,' one of the workers, Rafael Cruz, told SBT News. 'She just kept saying she wanted her mommy. The child's maternal grandmother appeared on the scene about an hour after she was found. The girl's mother did not return home until around 4am and was placed under arrest after she confessed to abandoning her daughter to attend the party. The mother is facing one count of child abandonment. 'The woman returned home and confessed that she had left her daughter sleeping to go to a nearby funk dance,' the Sao Paulo Department of Public Safety said in a statement. Her daughter was placed under the custody of the Sao Paulo child services agency. The mother's stepfather told SBT News that it was the first time that she had ever left the child alone at home. 'She's wrong, I agree,' he said. 'There's a child involved and she has to think about her.'
