An East Farmingdale woman was arrested Tuesday morning after she left her children - ages 3 and 4 - alone at home while she went to a bar, Suffolk County police said.
The father of the children, Carlos Cruz, 28, of North Amityville, called police at 3:40 a.m. Tuesday to report that they had been left alone on Lincoln Avenue, police said.
Cruz called from the home and was there when police arrived. The mother, Emelia Garcia-Cobos, 23, returned from a bar at 4:05 a.m., police said.
She is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and was scheduled for arraignment Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip.
Police did not know the children's condition or whether they were released to their father.
