Abandoned child reported on Diamond Hill – Neese Road
An abandoned child was reported on Diamond Hill – Neese Road recently after an unclothed toddler was found on top of an abandoned, collapsed chicken house.
Officer Jason Luke was dispatched to the scene where a resident said he heard his dogs barking and came outside to investigate when he heard the young boy yelling and found him. Through interviews, Luke learned that the child was being babysat by his grandmother at their home on Hardman Road. The woman was reportedly bathing the child when he got away from her and she could not go after him since she had previously suffered a stroke. A DFCS caseworker was called to the scene to implement a safety plan for the child, who appeared unharmed. Before Luke or DFCS left the residence a chain-style lock was installed on all the doors of the home.
