A York County woman whose license to run a daycare expired a year ago has been charged with leaving six young children alone in her home.

Springettsbury Township police charged 43-year-old Gina Henry with child endangerment earlier this month.

The charge stems from a incident in November, according to CBS21.

Police said that after answering a call about a disturbance at Henry's home they learned Henry had left the children, ages 3 months to 2 years, while she left the home to retrieve other children from preschool.

Henry at first lied to officers and said an assistant who was ill in the bathroom had been watching the kids, police said. They said she even placed her iPad in the bathroom on speaker and had a friend talk with officers over the device. It didn't fool anyone.

Henry finally admitted she left the kids alone in the house, police said. They said further investigation showed her license to operate a day care had expired in December 2015.
