A mother in Alton has been charged after her autistic daughter was found wandering the streets at around 5 a.m. Saturday.

Angela Anahi Carrillo was arraigned on Sunday. She was charged with two counts of abandoning or endangering a child, two counts of possession of a controlled substance and manufacture or delivery of a substance.

Her bond was set at $270,000.

Alton police were dispatched to the area of north Linares Street and north Montemorelos Street near the PalmaSola Apartments, where a little girl had been found alone on the street.

Alton police said they spoke with the woman who found the little girl. They were unable to get information from the child as to what her name was and where she lived.

Officers went around the neighborhood trying to locate any family members or individuals that recognized the child. Child Protective Services was immediately notified, and the child received medical attention for her wellbeing.

Police said at around 9 a.m. Carrillo called 911 and reported her daughter was not at home. Carrillo said her daughter was non-speaking autistic.

Officers arrived at Carrillo's residence and found a one-year-old inside the trailer as well.

Alton police said officers determined Carrillo was intoxicated and in possession of multiple drugs. They placed her under arrest, and the one-year-old child was taken to the Alton Police Department.

CPS proceeded to take custody of the children.
