On Sunday afternoon, two girls, ages 5 and 3 were found on a Brooklyn sidewalk with just their jackets, UGG boots, and pairs of extra diapers. “Mommy just left us on the sidewalk and drove away.” The New York Daily News reports that the sisters were found in front of the Bay View Houses on Shore Parkway. Although there was no apparent physical abuse, they were taken to Brookdale University Hospital.

The hunt is on for a malevolent mom who deserted her two daughters, ages 3 and 5, on a Brooklyn sidewalk Sunday, leaving them each extra diapers and a heartbreaking lesson in hard knocks. “Mommy just left us on the sidewalk and drove away,” the older girl told a Daily News photographer just seconds after a good Samaritan found her and her sister stranded on a bustling corner in Canarsie.

The girls were bundled up in hooded down coats, wearing UGG boots and holding fresh disposable diapers when they were found just before 3 p.m. in front of the Bay View Houses on Shore Parkway, cops said. “We don’t know their identities yet,” a police source said. “They gave us their first names and said their mom dropped them off.”

The older girl told cops her name is Domini and that her little sister, who said very little to police, is Dioni, a source said. “We live in a blue house with flowers in front,” Domini told The News as cops took custody of her and her sister.
