A Highland Park woman is
out on bond after her arrest on child endangerment.
Leslie Toomay, 32, was
arrested after police found a 1-year-old child alone in the Toomay home. Police
responded to a burglar alarm in the house and when they arrived the found the
front door open, lights and TV on inside.
The 14-month-old has
special needs and was found laying under a play mobile. The toddler had a
feeding tube and the police report said she appeared unable to roll over or
crawl.
According to the police
report, "Toomay intentionally left the residence leaving her 14 month
old physically, mentally and developmentally disabled child, in an upstairs
bedroom without providing reasonable and necessary care."
Toomay told police she
left the home to take her other daughter to a play facility nearby.
She got
back about 10 minutes after police arrived and told them it was a "miscommunication"
with her husband. She thought he would be home to take care of the child.
