A British couple who could face up to a year in jail after leaving their baby alone in a car parked outside a shopping mall said that the incident was due to a cultural misunderstanding. Yisroel Singer, 26, said he was shocked to find police waiting to arrest him and his wife, Golda, in a New York parking lot after they left 6-month-old Rosie in the car to take daughters Rochel, 3, and Chaya, 2, to a bathroom. Under U.S. law, the couple were charged with child endangerment, a class A misdemeanor. Singer said he believed his sleeping daughter was safe in the locked car with a slightly opened window and did not want to awaken her and bring her out in the cold at the suburban Green Acres mall. The family live a sheltered life in a Jewish community in London, does not have a television in their house, has no criminal background and was not aware their actions could land them in legal trouble.
