By Jason Kandel, NBC Los Angeles and msnbc.com staff

A teacher’s assistant from California faces child endangerment charges after her 12-year-old daughter was found naked and rummaging through trash cans for food, officials said.

Police were called on Thursday after a local resident saw a girl walking in Temecula, south-east of Los Angeles, wearing no clothes and eating food out of trash cans.

Tracy Betts, 40, a teaching assistant at nearby Vail Elementary, was arrested at the school on suspicion of felony child endangerment.

The girl completely naked, without even shoes on her feet, and trying to cover herself with a car floor mat, the newspaper said.
