A Liberty Township woman has pleaded not guilty to child endangering after police say they found her two daughters left alone in a Belmont Avenue motel room Thursday evening.
Acting on a tip, officers found a 10-year-old girl and her two-year-old sister in a room at the Motel Six after 6 p.m.
The older child said that her mother was at work and expected her to be back by 10 p.m.
The mom, 24-year-old Shaina Bell, who was found working at a pizza shop, told officers that she usually has someone check in on her children every hour while she is at work.
Bell was booked into the county jail on two counts of child endangering.
The children were turned over to their father.
Now free on bail after a hearing in Girard Municipal Court, Bell is scheduled for another court hearing in April.
Community support for Bell has been building and a Go-Fund-Me has been created to support Bell and her children.
Liberty Police: Kids left in motel as mom works in pizza shop
24 with a 10 yr old? I need to have more info on the father. How was he able to get the children so quickly but couldn't watch them while she was at work? I hope she gets the resources she needs.

Shaina is defending him and his mom on Facebook. According to his sister he was at work, and has been working since he was 13 to support the 10 year old and a son who wasn’t there. The 2 year old is by another man.Shaina got kicked out and has lived with them since she first got pregnant at 13/14 and just recently moved out a month ago and the girls were visiting her. He woke up and realized they weren’t there, called the 10 year old then figured they were at a motel then called the police. The sister said he only called them because he would’ve been accused of kidnapping if he didn’t. At the end of the day, I hope they all go to therapy, and she’s able to change her life with the money.
That’s why we should never donate to any gofundme that is not created by the person or a close relative.

I thought the kids don’t live with her and were visiting and the father of two of her kids called the police because after he called the mom and she said she was working he called the older daughter and found out they were alone. She could have had the father or his family watching them because they’re usually with his family and that’s who they live with.
Her mom also kicked her out when she first got pregnant and she lived with the family of the father of her two older kids. I’m not understanding why she wasn’t assisting her daughter with housing or support but can manage a go fund me.
The children were not living with their mother. She is benefiting from the way the story has been skewed to make it seem like she was a mother struggling for a babysitter when she most certainly was not. She basically placed the kids in that situation needlessly. The children lived with their grandmother who at one point had even given Shaina a place to live when she was 14. The same grandmother wasn’t even the bio grandmother of the youngest, but she was taking care of the child as her own.
