Firefighters find girls tied to crib
October 20, 2004
BY LISA DONOVAN Staff Reporter
Chicago firefighters doused the small roof blaze at a South Side business Tuesday afternoon and searched the two-story building for anyone trapped or injured, but what they happened upon next was anything but routine: two children alone and tethered by rope to a baby crib.
The girls, ages 3 and 5, were not harmed, and emergency crews rushed them to Mercy Hospital for observation.
Their parents, who showed up at the hospital, were arrested by police.
The father and mother, 48-year-old Dastagir Siddiqui and 47-year-old Seema Siddiqui, were each charged with two counts of endangering the life and health of a child, a misdemeanor, according to authorities.
