A Brooklyn mom's Facebook page was updated with a photograph of someone hoisting a bottle of champagne - hours after her toddlers were dumped on a streetcorner.
Cops were still canvassing Canarsie looking for the mom about 6:15 p.m. on Sunday when the photo of the pink bubbly popped up. It was an odd time for a celebration.
Two-year-old Dominae and Diani, 3, were found in front of the Bay View Houses about 2:40 p.m. Police say their mother, Dalisha Adams, abandoned them. The single mom was busted about 11 p.m. - more than four hours after the head-scratching Facebook post. Adams, 26, was awaiting arraignment late Monday on two counts of child endangerment. There was no signs of abuse, although neighbors said Adams often cursed at the kids and gave them a tongue-lashing hours before they were ditched. The girls - bundled in coats and UGG boots and clutching diapers - were left down the street from where their grandmother lives. But the grandmother said she had no idea they were there and found out only from the tots' story on the front page of the Daily News.
"I would have took them," said the grandma, Bertha Davia. "All she had to do was call." Davia's son Shawn Cobbs is the girls' father. Adams has accused him of domestic violence several times. On Sunday, he and Adams had an argument over the kids. "She wanted him to take the kids, and he told her he didn't have a stable place to take the kids," Davia said. "She must have got mad, dressed them kids and brought them here."
