NY mom admits fault after leaving kids on curb

The suburban mother who ordered her bickering daughters out of her car and drove off without them said Thursday that she made a mistake. A charge against her is likely to be dismissed.

Madlyn Primoff, 45, a partner in a Manhattan law firm, had touched off a national debate, with many people calling her irresponsible but admitting they’ve been tempted to do the same.

She discussed her actions for the first time after a judge said he would dismiss the child-endangerment charge against her in six months if she stayed out of trouble.

“Clearly, I made a mistake,” Primoff said outside court, her husband beside her. “But I truly love our children, and I know that I am a good parent.”

Primoff, of Scarsdale, N.Y., said her family discussed what happened April 19, when she put her 10- and 12-year-old daughters out of the car in downtown White Plains.

“We’ve put it to rest, and we’ll move forward together,” she said.

The girls were attending school and not in court.
