Mother being reunited with wandering 2-year-old

According to Deputy Chief Brian Foley, the child was found alone on Shultas Place.

"After seeing a Facebook live video, the mother who is a professional at a local hospital contacted police," Foley said. "She had left the child in the care of an elderly aunt."

The mother was at work when she saw the video. She realized it was her neighborhood and that the child was hers.

Foley said the aunt and another family member had a miscommunication as to who was supposed to be watching the child.

Because of that circumstance, the child was able to get out.

"About 8:45 a.m. we got a call to our 911 center about a wandering 2-year-old child," Foley said. "She was dressed in pink and had flipflops on."

Foley said a neighbor looked out the window and saw the child.

"After a while, she became suspicious and realized the child was unaccompanied by an adult, so she called police," he said.

Foley said child is safe, healthy and in good spirits. She is with detectives and in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

"She will be reunited with her family," Foley said.

Police said they engaged in a door-to-door search for the parents. They had no missing persons reports at the time.

Foley said the search went on for several hours.

Police reviewed surveillance video to determine where the girl came from.

Foley said the child is too young to say her name.

"There will be a DCF followup as well as a HPD followup," he said. "Early indications are that this is nothing nefarious or criminal."
