Nov 27, 2006 01:11 PM

Portsmouth police have arrested and charged a Portsmouth woman with child abuse and neglect.

Police say the incident happened Sunday afternoon on Suburban Parkway. Two people were walking in front of a house when they saw a 4-year-old girl sitting on the front porch all by herself.

They approached her and asked why she was there alone and if her mommy was home. The little girl said that her mommy wasn't home and that she was all alone.

At that time, the people called police. Police arrived and arrested the mother, 24-year-old Acquelyn Shaneka Riser and charged her with abuse and neglect of a child. Riser is currently in the Portsmouth jail.
