Mother abandons small children on Chicago subway
I think one of the reasons why this story breaks my heart so much is because the mother allegedly left two little boys on a subway, but took her small daughter with her. It makes me think that the mother didn’t want them because they were boys, although I’m sure there is a lot to the story.
Leaving your toddler and preschooler on a Chicago subway is dangerous for so many reasons. Someone could have abducted them or they could have wondered onto a platform and fallen on the tracks. It just makes me want to scoop up ‘em and take ‘em home with me.
Chicago Police on Saturday were searching for a 24-year-old mother of three who allegedly left two of her children on the CTA Red Line on Thursday night, fleeing with the third child.
Police released a surveillance tape showing the woman, identified as Sharmaine Nicole Smith, possibly of Minnesota, leaving the 63rd Street station about 6:40 p.m. Thursday, a little girl on her hip.
Left behind were two boys, Isaiah Taylor, 6, and Angelo Gemerson, 4. Riders turned them over to CTA personnel at the 69th Street station.
