Woman Who Allegedly Left Kids in Car Held
A Northridge woman remained in a Van Nuys jail Thursday after being arrested on suspicion of child endangerment when an off-duty police officer noticed her children sweating in her parked van while she was grocery shopping, the Los Angeles police said.
The officer was walking through the Vons parking lot in the 18500 block of Nordhoff Street at 11:40 a.m. Wednesday when he saw the children, ages 7 weeks and 1 1/2 years.
The mother, Subha Sadaf, 21, was arrested when she returned to the car. The children were taken to the hospital, examined and released to their father. Sadaf’s bail is set at $50,000.
The high temperature in Northridge Wednesday was 86 degrees.
