Two sisters who left their children at the LEGO store in Eastview Mall for two hours while they shopped at other stores have been charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office says Francisca Lopez of Henrietta and her sister, Yaquelina Francisca Rosario De Hernandez of the Dominican Republic, left the children with no means of contacting their parents in an emergency. Store employees notified mall security after watching the children for about half-an-hour. Several announcements on the mall PA system brought no response.
Both women were issued appearance tickets when they returned to the LEGO store for their children.
