WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — The suburban mother who ordered her bickering daughters, ages 10 and 12, out of her car and drove off without them said Thursday that she made a mistake.
Madlyn Primoff, 45, a partner in a Manhattan law firm, had touched off a national debate.
A judge said he would dismiss the child-endangerment charge against her in six months if she stayed out of trouble.
Primoff and her daughters were 3 miles from home April 19 when Primoff pulled over and ordered the girls out for squabbling.
Her attorney said she intended to drive around the block and pick the girls up, but they were gone when she returned.
When Primoff could not immediately find the girls, she went home, picked up her husband and her father and resumed the search.
They found the 12-year-old, but a passer-by had taken the younger girl and called police.
