## Summary

A Miami mother has been arrested on two child endangerment charges after police said her five-year-old nonverbal autistic daughter was found alone in and around a Family Dollar store twice within four days. The case has raised concerns about the child’s safety: police said she was at risk of being struck by a car, and Florida’s Department of Children and Families is caring for all three of the mother’s children while the investigation continues.

Police said the girl was seen in surveillance footage running through a car park and eating sweets on a shop floor without shoes; she reportedly had a soiled nappy. Her mother, Jasmine Greer, 37, said she had been cleaning their home and realised the child had left. Investigators say Greer acknowledged inadequate supervision and that her daughter could slip out of the apartment. Bail was set at $20,000, with a court order barring her from contacting or approaching the child; police also cited an earlier incident in which another daughter went missing for several hours.
