Police: Brooklyn Daycare Worker Charged With Leaving Kids at Long Island Mall

Two children found unattended at a Long Island mall on Wednesday are being reunited with their parents and a Brooklyn daycare aide now faces child abandonment charges, police said.

The children, Tyler, 2, and Abigail, 3, were taken to the Westfield South Shore Mall in Bay Shore by 34-year-old Nicole Noble, a school aide from Elite Christian Daycare in East Flatbush, police said.

Tyler and Abigail, who are not related as police initially thought, were found playing unattended in the mall at about 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Police asked for the public’s help to find the children’s parents, who were later located by Suffolk County Police Third Squad detectives.

Noble, of 39-23 Avenue I, Brooklyn, was arrested and charged with two counts of child abandonment and two counts of endangerment of a child. She was being held at the Suffolk County Police Department’s Fourth Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday at First District Court in Central Islip.
