A woman was charged with endangering the welfare of children after troopers discovered two young kids in an 80-degree apartment with the oven turned on and the door open and the front door unlocked.

State Police said Danielle Thompson then called authorities the next morning to report that the children were missing. Children and Youth Services had already taken custody of the children.

Troopers said they were called to the Huntingdon Village apartment at about 10 p.m. Friday after someone called and said she heard a toddler knocking on the door and crying for about 15 minutes.

When police arrived, they found the door unlocked and open. As they went into the apartment, they saw the oven door open and “the oven racks were orange" after running as a form of heat. Police said one child was found sleeping on the carpet next to a pile of toys with no shirt on. Another child was found in a rear bedroom in a crib with dried vomit around their mouth and wearing dirty clothes.

Troopers said the children “were visibly hungry” and one had a dirty diaper that needed changing.

Court documents said Thompson didn’t know the kids were gone until just after 6:30 a.m. Saturday when she called police to report them missing.

A mother accused of leaving her two young children home alone told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that she was doing the best she can to take care of her children.

Danielle Thompson, 25, spoke to Pittsburgh's Action News 4 as she walked into court for a preliminary hearing.

"I know that I did a wrong thing, but I do love my children," Thompson said.

State police arrested Thompson in December after she allegedly left her two young boys, ages 1 and 4, alone in their East Huntingdon apartment. Police said when they were called to the apartment they found the oven on and open and the temperature in the apartment was 80 degrees.

"I had it on a low setting and I did it as a form of heat because the kids' room was really cold," Thompson said.

Thompson said she had recently received a notification that her power would be shut off for failing to pay her bill. Police also said the apartment was in deplorable condition. The two young boys are currently in custody of their grandmother. She told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that they are doing well.

Thompson, meanwhile, stressed she was just trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

"I'm just going to throw my faith out on the line and hope," Thompson said. "I know I deserve to be in jail but I know I don't deserve to rot, either."

Looks like jail shaved her head for lice. She was arrested December 16 and still in jail on February 5. So nobody wanted to bail her out. Jail detox.

She cleaned up and now "that's a man, baby"

She cleaned up and got, somehow, less appealing. How does that happen? (Thanks @Muriel Schwenck, now that I read your post she had her head shaved, )

And yes, yes she does deserve to rot, she was gone and those babies could have died in that nasty house from the oven being left on and open and the doors being left unlocked and open.
 
Thompson, Danielle Rose

Two days after arresting a 35-year-old Hempfield man on accusations of abusing an infant boy in his care, state police arrested the child’s mother Friday on an identical charge.

Danielle R. Thompson, 28, who has no fixed address listed in court documents, was arraigned Friday on a charge of child endangerment after a five-month investigation.

Matthew Anson Nathaniel Davis, who lived in Carbon, was arrested Wednesday. Both Davis and Thompson are being held in the county jail on $150,000 bond.

According to court documents, the infant was removed from the custody of Davis, who is the boy’s father, after the mother left him Oct. 22 and went to a domestic violence shelter.

The infant was admitted to the intensive care unit at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh due to near-fatal brain bleeding, according to court papers.

After being released from the hospital Oct. 29, the child was placed with a foster family. On Nov. 10, Trooper Philip Dern reported the child was readmitted to the hospital after suffering seizures.

Dr. Jennifer Wolford, a UPMC pediatrician, told Dern the injuries were the result of being shaken “and a clear indication of child abuse,” according to court documents.

Thompson denied to police that she ever shook the child and told investigators that she never saw Davis shake the child, according to court documents. But Dern alleges that both parents were responsible for the child’s injuries.

“Based on the information obtained during this investigation, Thompson and Davis engaged in a course and pattern of conduct that endangered the health, safety and welfare of (the child) by subjecting him to ongoing harm and injuries,” Dern wrote.

According to online dockets, Thompson is serving a three-year probation sentence after pleading guilty last year to child endangerment. State police filed the charge in December 2019, claiming she left two children under the age of 4 unsupervised in her former East Huntingdon apartment that was reported to be in “deplorable condition” and heated by an oven.

Along with probation, Judge Scott Mears ordered Thompson to have no contact with the children and to undergo a mental health evaluation, according to online dockets.

State police said the infant child involved in the current case remains in foster care.

He probably was able to pick up on her low self esteem and neediness.

I get the sense that she regained custody or at least had access to the children from the endangerment incident.

Hopefully this will be the final straw and she will lose cusody of the children she has and any future children will be removed from her care at birth.
