Dad abandons 4-year-old daughter in the streets so he can get drunk at home (Yonkers, New York)

Poor Mom was working a sh**ty night job at Micky D's, which doesn't give you much disposal income for quality child care options. So she enlisted Dad EDWARDO FLORENCIO into babysitting duty. Well, Daddy didn't want a 4-year-old girl around when it was chillin' time, are you kidding? So he drove his daughter a ways from home, kicked her get out of the car, then drove back home. Fortunately, a kind woman found the little girl wandering the streets instead of some sicko predator, and called the police. The police found Daddy surrounded by beer bottles and apparently passed out. He's been charged with felony child abandonment. Fortunately, Mom got her daughter back. Now if she could only find a decent job and decent child care, so she could dump Daddy's @$$ somewhere. Hopefully with no custody rights and no visitation.

YONKERS — A man was arrested after police said he put his 4-year-old daughter out of his car and went home leaving her wandering around the street on Nodine Hill in the middle of the night.

Edwardo Florencio, 26, was found in his 121 Elm St. apartment apparently drunk and asleep in a chair with empty beer bottles all around him, Yonkers Police Lt. Phil Collins said.

The girl was turned over to her mother and child protection services were notified, he said.

At 3:45 a.m. Sunday a 31-year-old Yonkers woman saw the 4-year-old alone in the street near 125 Elm St., police said. She took the child to the sidewalk and contacted the police. The girl told police that her father stopped the car, took her out and drove away, Collins said.

Police determined the child lived nearby and went to the house. The officers found several people in the apartment including Florencio. Collins said the officers asked Florencio if he knew where his daughter was and he said he did not. He was charged with abandoning a child, a felony.
Police found the girl's mother at her job at McDonald's and turned her over to her.
