Police were called when two young children were found
sitting on the street, close to midnight.
Police arrested a married couple in Salisbury, Maryland, on
charges of endangerment for allegedly kicking out the two
children, who were left in their care.
Leslie Parks, 42, and Leonard Joseph Parks, 62, were
arrested after officers found a 9-year-old boy and a 12-
year-old girl sitting outside a convenience store around
11:15 p.m.
The children said that the couple who was babysitting them,
forced them out of the home after they were ordered to find
the couple’s TV remote.
The children were given 15 minutes to find the remote, but
when they failed to find it they were pushed out of the
couple's home.
Police said that the family is homeless. Their mother, who
does not have a cell phone, left the children with the couple
while she went to look for a place to spend the night.
The children who were hungry, told police that they had been
sitting outside for about two hours. The children were fed
and Social Services were contacted.
Leslie Parks was charged with two counts of neglecting a
minor and two counts of contributing to the condition of a
child.
