PHOENIX — Police in Phoenix are trying to find the woman they said left a toddler in a stroller in the middle of a shopping center parking lot Saturday.
The child, who is between 1 and 2 years old and was asleep in the stroller, is in the custody of the Arizona Department of Child Safety, KTVK reported.
"Someone who was on their way to work was walking by a pile of really just debris and among that debris was a stroller and inside the stroller was a little moving leg," Phoenix Police Sgt. Vince Lewis told KTVK.
The little boy was discovered by a bystander. The stroller was in a parking space near a fast-food restaurant, and was partially hidden under food wrappers and what police described as "other junk," according to KTVK.
The boy was taken to an area hospital to be checked out. He wasn't hurt, KTVK reported.
