Boy, 3, left unclaimed for two days after own birthday party

The parents of a 3-year-old Michigan boy may be faced with child abandonment and child abuse charges after leaving their son alone after his own birthday party.

Warren Police are questioning the parents as to why the boy was left alone at Little Caesars Caesarland. The manager of the store called police at around 9 p.m. on Saturday night when he noticed the boy was still there with no adults.

Officers were unable to find the boy's parents so he was taken into protective custody and placed in foster care.



Corporate security from Caesarland contacted Warren Police at around 1 p.m. Monday, saying a male had been by the store asking about his missing 3-year-old son.

"This is a disturbing and outrageous situation that the person responsible for the care of this 3-year-old child would take over 36 hours before inquiring as to the whereabouts of their child," said Warren Police Chief William Dwyer. "Our detectives will conduct a thorough investigation and then report their findings to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office for criminal prosecution if deemed necessary."

The boy's parents both live in Warren but are not married.

Foreigner, that was an ugly bit of racist writing you did there.  No excuses for terrible parenting of course but I imagine the truth was more likely that each parent thought the other one had brought the child home with them.

Elagie and others that I seem to have offended, my sincere apologies.
That was not at all my intention at all. I hadn't thought of that- I just imagined how this could have gone in any situation.

But you are right- Most likely the parents do not live together and each thought the other picked the poor kid up.

Again- My apologies if I offended someone with my scenerio, because that was absolutely not what I had in mind when I wrote it.
