A crying child could be heard in the background on the voicemail, prosecutors said.When they were later arrested by cops, a defiant Pamphile washed his hands of the girl, authorities charge.“This kid is her kid," he told cops, according to court papers. “This kid is not my kid, not my problem, not my responsibility.”Emma was scooped up by good Samaritan Mishka Peart, who saw the tot wearing a surgical mask and wandering aimlessly near the intersection with her belongings in tow.“They drove off and left me," Emma said when Peart asked the child where her parents were.AdvertisementPeart drove the child to nearby Montbellier Park, where she found a pair of school safety agents and told them what happened. The safety agents summoned officers from the 105th Precinct, sparking the investigation.Cops located and arrested Chambers and Pamphile, both of Central Islip, L.I., a few hours later. They are charged with child abandonment, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangermentWhen questioned, Chambers said that she tried to drop Emma off at her father’s home but Watson had turned her away. Watson refuted the claims and had a doorbell video to prove they never stopped by.Watson told The News he’s barely seen Emma since he and Chambers broke up about four years ago.When detectives showed Chambers surveillance video from the intersection, she admitted to abandoning her child and that she “was frustrated," prosecutors said.AdvertisementA Queens Criminal Court judge ordered the couple released without bail after they were arraigned late Tuesday. The two are facing up to four years in prison if convicted.Emma was handed over to child welfare services in Suffolk County and will be placed with a relative, officials said.Pamphile’s mother told The News that when she talked to her son after his arrest he claimed Chambers was the one who decided to leave Emma in the street.WeekdaysCatch up on the day’s top five stories every weekday afternoon. &gt; “The mother said 'OK, let’s drop the baby there.’ And then Mark said ‘You sure?’ And then she said ‘Yes’ or something,” said Pamphile’s mother, who wished not to be named. “That’s the part we don’t understand.”She said her son was hit by multiple cars a few years ago in a harrowing crash sparked by a drunken driver, leaving him with a brain injury he hasn’t fully recovered from.“Sometimes he might be OK, sometimes he’s not,” she said. “And that’s why maybe now he’s acting like that, he’s going crazy.”AdvertisementPamphile’s mom last saw her son on Mother’s Day. At the time he had Emma and his 9-month-old son with him.“She was very quiet, sitting down here,” she recalled of Emma’s visit.She said she would take Emma in if relatives don’t want her. Over the years, she has adopted six children and fostered many more.“I want to help her if I can,” she said of Emma. “This is a safe house. Many pass through here and don’t want to leave.” Advertisement
