NYC mom Dalisha Adams allegedly abandons kids on sidewalk

A mother is under arrest after allegedly abandoning her two young daughters on a sidewalk Sunday.

According to the New York Daily News, the two little girls - ages 3 and 5 - were wandering the Brooklyn street where they were left, bundled up and carrying spare diapers around 3 p.m. Sunday. The older girl told a Daily News photographer that their mother had just dropped them off then driven away.

Area residents called 911 and the little girls were able to tell police their mother's first name, the color of the car she drove and that they "live in a house with blue flowers out front," reports the Daily News.

The information led police to the girls' mother, 26-year-old Dalisha Adams. Adams was arrested and charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Daily News.

The girls did not appear to be injured but were taken to a local hospital for observation, and are temporarily in the custody of the Administration for Children's Services.
