An Arizona mother was arrested on Sunday after supposedly leaving her young daughter alone at home while she was going out to party.

Alexandra Ciliento, 29, left home around 11 pm Saturday night when her 4-year-old daughter stayed home, reported Fox 10.

While her mother was out, the girl managed to escape from the house and go to a neighbor's house.

The neighbor would have waited 45 minutes before calling the police, who eventually reached Ciliento just after 8:00 am the next morning, according to AZCentral.com.

Ciliento admitted to the Scottsdale police that she had left her apartment and had not tried to have her daughter supervised by a babysitter, police said in court records.

Moreover, Ciliento "did not know that his child could open a locked door and leave the residence".

Her daughter is in her father's custody and Ciliento would not be allowed to see her. The online archive shows that Ciliento was accused of a child abuse charge.
