The mother of a 4-year-old toddler found in the middle of the 2300 block of Adams Avenue in Scranton is charged with child endangerment.

A neighbor found the boy in the street at 6 p.m. on Saturday and contacted city police.

Officers reached out to the Office of Youth and Family Services on-call worker, who said it was the second time a report had been filed on Brooke McDaniel, mother of the child.

McDaniel, 32, of 2917 Marvine Ave., has a preliminary hearing scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on July 9 before District Judge Kipp Adcock.
