Cops: Tiny kids alone, mom shopping
Thursday, June 11, 2009 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Jersey City police arrested a city woman after a driver found her 2-year-old son wandering alone on Williams Avenue Tuesday morning and police then found her 1-year-old son home alone, officials said. Dominique L. Pigford was arrested at her Williams Avenue home Tuesday and charged with child abuse for abandoning her children, reports said. At 9:23 a.m., a Jersey City man spotted the 2-year-old walking at Williams and Mallory avenues wearing only sneakers and a diaper, reports said. The man picked up the boy and knocked on the doors of a few nearby homes to locate the boy's family, but when he could not find the child's residence he called police, reports said. Officers responded and called an ambulance to check the boy out, and while they were at the scene Pigford approached the ambulance and said she was the mother, reports said. She told police her sister was supposed to have been watching the child but when the officers went to Pigford's home they found the 1-year-old alone there, reports said. That's when Pigford admitted leaving the children alone while she went grocery shopping, reports said. The officers noted she did have several bags of food with her, reports said. The children were taken to the Jersey City Medical Center to be evaluated and the state Division of Youth and Family services took custody of them by 1 p.m., reports said. Pigford, whose age was not released, was taken to the police station and processed, reports said.
