Ma held after girl left alone on Bx. street

A 4-year-old girl found wandering alone on a Bronx street after midnight over the weekend was abandoned by her mother, cops said Tuesday.

Sadeekah Abdul Salaam left her little girl alone near Prospect Ave. and E. 156th St. in the South Bronx around midnight Saturday, then went to a homeless shelter to find somewhere to stay, police said.

Disturbing surveillance video shows the little girl, who told investigators her name was Sidaya, trailing far behind her 32-yearold mother on Fox St. near Leggett Ave., about four blocks away from where she was found, she said.

Salaam stopped to look back at the tot, who almost caught up with her, then walked away, police said.

Little Sidaya was wearing a sweater but no jacket in 40-degree weather.

Police figured out Salaam’s identity and arrested her late Monday, charging her with abandonment of a child, acting in a manner injurious to a child and reckless endangerment.

She made no statements and asked for a lawyer, police said. She was awaiting arraignment in Bronx criminal court.

Sidaya was in the care of the Administration for Children’s Services, police said.
