A toddler was found wandering alone for several hours on the 13600 block of Perry Road in north Houston, authorities said, before deputies tracked down and arrested the child’s mother. The child was recovered unharmed. Officials identified the mother as Endea Green, who was booked into the Harris County Jail with bond set at $7,500, as reported by MyTexasDaily.
How deputies responded
Deputies with Constable Mark Herman’s office answered a welfare check at a home on the 13600 block of Perry Road on Nov. 7 and found an unsupervised toddler, prompting an extensive neighborhood search, according to MyTexasDaily. Deputy Palacios and K9 Hades canvassed the area until they located the child’s mother, who was taken into custody.
Charges and bond
Precinct officials identified the arrested woman as Endea Green. She was booked on child-endangerment allegations and held on a $7,500 bond set out of the 338th District Court. “This case is a strong reminder of the importance of vigilance and responsibility when it comes to child safety,” Constable Mark Herman’s office said, as stated by Hoodline.
Local context

In one case, deputies arrested two parents after finding four children left alone in a disordered home, Click2Houston reported. The Houston Chronicle also covered a separate 2024 case that drew wider scrutiny.
