A four state toddler is reportedly dropped off at a stranger`s house and left for hours. But police say it`s a case of a mistaken address. Police say Sunday a three-year old boy was dropped off at 332 South Madison Street in Webb City. The child`s Aunt thought the home was his Grandparents. The man who was home at the time, says he thought the child was his roommate`s. But after an hour the residents realized neither of them knew who the child was or who his parents were. That`s when they notified the police. "For about four hours we were frantic there. We had a found boy, a three year old boy who was very cute, very pleasant, and did not seem to be worried about anything, but we were unable to figure out who he belonged to,"said Don Richardson, Webb City Police Chief. Police then canvassed the neighborhood and learned the child`s Aunt was supposed to drop him off at his Grandparent`s house.
That house is located down the street more than a block from where he was left. The child spent the night in DFS custody, but is now home with his mother. No one is facing charges in this incident.
