A Bloomfield woman faces a child endangerment charge for allegedly leaving a 1-year-old alone in her minivan for at least 20 minutes.

Antwi claimed she left the girl alone for "just over a minute" while she ran into work, but two witnesses allege the toddler was unattended for at least 20 minutes, the article reported.
