A Beaver County, Pennsylvania, mother is accused of leaving her kids, 2 and 4 years old, home alone.
Nikia Shelehada, 23, is facing felony endangerment charges.
Police in Monaca said she left two small children alone in an apartment on Marshall Road that was filled with garbage and waste.
A neighbor found the toddler outside at 1 a.m. March 7 and called police.
“I looked out the window and she was over on the hillside. I ran out and I got her. I brought her in and she was soaking wet. I cleaned her up. She was very, very dirty,” the neighbor said.
