Baby Sitter Gets Wrong Boy From School

A 5-year-old boy spent Monday afternoon at a stranger's house after he was picked up from school by a baby sitter who, on her first day on the job, thought he was the boy she was hired to look after.

Angel Guerrero was taken by mistake when the woman arrived at his elementary school and took him without knowing what the child she was to care for looked like.

The mix-up caused alarm when Angel's grandmother came to the school and was told someone had already picked him up. Police issued a missing child alert, and his name and picture were broadcast live on several TV stations.

Meanwhile, the baby sitter had no idea she picked up the wrong child until her employers returned home and did not recognize Angel.

The baby sitter said 'This is your son,' and the parents said, 'No, this is not our son,'. When the parents saw Angel's picture plastered on their TV screen, they immediately called police.
