A captain involved in the case told WCBS 880's Sophia Hall that criminal charges are expected next week, as early as Monday. The charges could include endangering the welfare of a child.
Witnesses told Hall that the child was there for hours playing with other children, until a parent realized the girl was alone and called police.
