A wandering child was found on a street in Lantana at around 9:28 a-m. He was barefoot, wearing Thomas the Tank Engine pyjamas and had a temporary tattoo on his left arm.
It was not until noon that his grandmother showed up, saying that there had been a mix-up with who was supposed to be watching the child. She thought that her son, the boy's father, had him, while he thought that she was taking care of him.
Investigators say they arrested the boy's father soon after the boy was found and charged him with child neglect. He reportedly said that he checked on his child who was asleep before he went to work, then left, assuming his roommate would watch the child. He made no further attempt to contact his roommate or anyone else in the household to make sure the child would be supervised.Original report from News Channel 5
