WHITE PLAINS - A Scarsdale mom who apparently was fed up with her 10- and 12-year-old girls fighting in the car was arrested after she kicked them out in downtown White Plains and drove away, police said.
Madlyn Primoff, 45, of 36 Olmstead Road, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, when she came to White Plains police headquarters Sunday evening to pick up her younger daughter
The 10-year-old told police she had been arguing with her sister when her mother stopped the car at Post Road and South Broadway, told them to get out, and drove off.
The 12-year-old ran after the car and apparently caught up to it and was allowed back in.
A passerby who saw the younger girl crying on Mamaroneck Avenue bought her ice cream and contacted White Plains police, who searched the area but were unable to find the mother.
A short time later, Scarsdale police notified police in White Plains that the mother had just called to report the 10-year-old as missing. She was told that the girl was safe and sound at White Plains police headquarters.
Primoff, accompanied by her husband and older daughter, showed up at headquarters later that evening and was immediately arrested.
Bail and court information was not available.
