DAYTON - A 20-year-old woman was arrested on two felony child endangering charges Thursday, Nov. 5, after authorities warned her twice in the same day not to leave her children alone in the car.

Angela N. Duncan left a 12-month-old boy and 9-month-old girl outside the YWCA on West Third Street before 11 p.m., police said. A passerby noticed the children alone in a 1998 green Honda Civic and called police about 11 p.m., police said.

Duncan is the guardian of both children, police said.

Duncan had been warned by police and Montgomery County Children’s Services earlier that day after she left the kids in the car for about 30 minutes, Children’s Services spokeswoman Ann Stevens said.

A passerby also noticed the children alone in the car and called police in that instance, Stevens said.

“We talked to her (after the first incident) about not doing that,” Stevens said. “Then the same thing happened again. The children have been placed in foster care and are doing just fine.”

Stevens said it’s never OK to leave children unattended.

“It only takes a second for something to go wrong,” Stevens said.
