Youngstown Police say mom was at bar, leaving six-year-old alone at 1 a.m.
A Youngstown woman is charged with child endangering after police say she left her six-year-old daughter home alone while she went to a bar after midnight.
Police went to an Eddie Street home after 1 a.m. Monday to investigate a tip that a child was there unattended.
Finding the front door ajar, an officer found the six-year-old asleep upstairs. According to the police report, the girl didn’t know where her mother was and hadn’t eaten since breakfast.
The report says her mother had posted on Facebook two hours later that she was at a bar.
Forty-five minutes after the police arrived, Victoria Truman came back to the house, telling police she was only gone for fifteen minutes to run to the store.
When an officer told Truman how long they had been there, police say she admitted being at a bar on Mahoning Avenue.
