Woman Accused Of Leaving 4 Kids In Car While Gambling In Queens
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A Brooklyn woman was arrested this past weekend and charged with leaving her children – the youngest just 9 months old -- and her middle school-age brother in the car while she went off to gamble.
Ruth Liberal, 29, was arrested Sunday and was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, authorities told CBS 2.
She allegedly left her three children – a 9-month-old daughter and two sons ages 4 and 9 – in the car along with her own 13-year-old brother while she gambled at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, authorities said.
The Queens District Attorney's Office said Liberal was still awaiting arraignment Monday evening.
