(Scroll down for video) A mother was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child after tying her son to a tree.

22-year-old Mery Isabel Quinde-Castro of New York, was arrested after neighbors found her son alone outside his home.

Quinde-Castro of Spring Valley, was inside her home babysitting another child.

Quinde-Castro allegedly told police that her 4-year-old son was tied to the tree for 10 minutes on Monday, because he refused to come inside the apartment.
