Patricia Juarez, 44, has been arrested for leaving her 7-year-old son unattended in a Long Island Lego store for over an hour, reports Pix 11.
The manager of the Lego store spotted the boy walking around by himself and called the Roosevelt Fields mall's security office. Mall security then notified the Nassau County police department.
After returning to gather her son, Juarez was greeted by police and arrested with charges on endangering the welfare of a child.
Reports indicate that she left the child for more than 90 minutes while she shopped at stores for herself, reports CBS New York.
Police say the child is being looked after by a family member, and Juarez is expected to be arraigned today.
Juarez also has a warrant for the unrelated crime of petty larceny.
