Mom accused of leaving toddler in Larchmont Village in custody after day-long search
LOS ANGELES - A frantic search across Los Angeles for a woman came to an end after her toddler-aged daughter was left alone in the Larchmont Village area early Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles Police Department announced Wednesday evening that the mom was found safe at her job. The mom, 24-year-old Targie Alexandre, was taken into custody and is expected to be booked for child endangerment.
Earlier in the week, officials said the little girl was found in a stroller by a woman who happened to be walking in the area next to a bank on 1st Street and Larchmont Boulevard around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
The woman alerted authorities and once first responders arrived, paramedics took the toddler to an area hospital to be evaluated.
Alexandre was identified as the toddler's mom after authorities found the mom's ID in the stroller.
