HACKETTSTOWN, NJ (Warren County) – The mother of a 5-year-old girl that a postal worker found alone outside of her home last week was charged on Monday.
Alison Gamba, 41, of Hackettstown was charged with fourth-degree child neglect.
On June 5, at around 11:01 a.m., town police responded to the 100 block of Canal Way in reference to an unattended child, police said.
A postal worker found the 5-year-old girl on the sidewalk in front of the residence and no one was home, police said.

Gamba was lodged in the Warren County Correctional Facility.
