Subway mother kept daughter in gym bag
NEW YORK -- Child endangerment charges are pending against a New York City
woman for keeping a 2-year-old girl in a zipped-up gym bag, a report said
Thursday. Good Samaritans called 911 when they spotted a woman passed out on a
staircase in a Harlem subway station Wednesday. The large bag next to her was
making noises and moving. Passersby opened the tote and discovered a 2-year-old
girl stuffed inside, the New York Daily News reported. The apparently homeless
woman in her 40s, whose name was not released, is a recovering heroin addict on
methadone who passed out after drinking alcohol, police said. She identified
the girl as her daughter but said she did not remember the child's name, the
sources said. Both mother and child were taken to Harlem Hospital where doctors
said the toddler was in good health.
