Police have charged a Niles woman accused of leaving her five-year-old daughter alone in a Niles apartment.

An officer was dispatched to the Timber Creek apartments on North Road Monday afternoon after the girl went to the complex office saying no one was home.

According to dispatch records, no parent was found at the apartment, and conditions there were described as “deplorable”.

The child’s mother, 34-year-old Cynthia Davis, arrived at the apartment while police were still there.

Davis was booked into the county jail on a charge of child endangering and Children’s Services was contacted.

Davis pleaded not guilty to the charge. Her bond was set at $25,000

Another court hearing is set for October 5.
