Woman who abandoned child arrested on warrant

Well this woman was already on the hook for abondoning her child at our neighborhood Secretary of State facility @ 99th & King Drive. She's done that again unfortunately!

A woman who allegedly abandoned a 6-month-old baby at a South Side police station Friday afternoon was arrested on a warrant for failing to show up for a court appearance in relation to a charge of endangering the same child in September, 2009, police said.

An arrest warrant was issued Oct. 21 for Matisha Goens, 28, of the 7000 block of South Crandon Avenue, after she failed to show up for a court appearance that day in Domestic Violence Court after being charged in September with endangering the health and welfare of a child, according to police.

She was charged for allegedly leaving the same child unattended in a car in a parking lot of a Secretary of State facility on the 9900 block of South King Drive, according to police. For that, she was released on an individual recognizance bond and told to appear at the court hearing Oct. 21, according to police.

Goens was located by police Monday after allegedly leaving the same 6-month-old infant girl in a stroller inside the Grand Crossing District police station Friday afternoon.

She has not been charged with anything as of Tuesday morning in Friday’s incident but police were still investigating.
