Mom dumps toddler at Warren tavern

WARREN

The Trumbull County Children Services Board took temporary custody Wednesday of a 18-month-old girl whose mother dropped her off at a Youngstown Road tavern.

A 31-year-old woman said her friend, Ciera Huddleston, 26, of Niles, came to the Cafe 22, 2006 Youngstown Road SE, with her child at 11:33 p.m. and asked if she would hold the baby.

The friend said she would, but a few minutes later she saw Huddleston get into her car and drive away. The friend tried to call Huddleston several times but was unable to reach her.
