Two women charged with neglect of children

Two Stock Island women were arrested early Friday, charged with neglecting two small children.

Deputy David Lariz responded to Roy’s Trailer Park just after midnight Friday to a report of two small children wandering around by themselves. They’d been found by a tow truck driver from Arnold’s Towing. The small girls, both two years old, were crying and appeared to be cold. One was nude and the other was wearing only a tshirt and underwear. Deputy Lariz got a towel out of his car to cover the nude child and then began to look for someone responsible for them.

Two women showed up in the area a short time later and said they were the ones  responsible for the children. Investigations revealed the two women, who said they had been drinking alcohol, had left the children alone in a nearby trailer while they went to visit friends in another trailer.  They said they were only gone a short time and when they returned, they found the door to the trailer open and the children gone.

24 year old Jessica Saintil and 23 year old Yveline Saintal were both arrested and charged with child neglect.
