Del. woman arrested after son, 7, left on highway

Delaware State Police say a 32-year-old woman from New Castle has been arrested after her 7-year-old son was left on the side of a highway after the two had an argument.

Authorities said in a news release that Nicole F. Evans was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and released on $500 secured bond.

Police say the incident happened Friday evening. A passerby reported seeing the boy walking south by himself on the shoulder of U.S. 13. Authorities say during the one-hour period in which the boy was found, Evans did not contact 911 to report that her child was missing.

Officials say the boy was turned over to family members.
