CAMDEN, NJ (KYW) A toddler was found home alone Thursday afternoon with no food or water in temperatures near 90 degrees.
Just after 12:30 p.m. Thursday, CBS 3âs Todd Quinones reports a truant officer checking the neighborhood for kids playing hooky heard a baby crying for her mother. He reportedly followed the cries and saw a baby peeking out of the mail slot of a home on the 1200 block of Magnolia Avenue in Camden, New Jersey.
The baby was unharmed and is currently in the custody of the Department of Youth and Family Services. Officials say the home had no electricity and was in deplorable condition.
Neighbors Quinones spoke to say two babies live in the home with their mother and claim she often left her children home alone.
The second child, a six-month-old, was dropped off at a neighbor's house Friday but the search continues for their mother. She is identifed by police as Helenia Garry, 23.

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
