Toddler forgotten at St. Louis Mall
Police believe a mother was too ashamed to own up to mistake but given that she already had warrants for her arrest, Minor Topics isn’t so quick to buy it.
ST. LOUIS — Police still want to know why a 3-year-old boy was left alone at a suburban St. Louis shopping mall over the weekend. But by Monday, the child’s mother was still refusing to show up and talk with officers.
The boy was discovered by employees around 8:30 p.m. Saturday at NASCAR SpeedPark in the St. Louis Mills mall in Hazelwood, not long before the mall was to close. Mall security searched the area, seeking a parent or guardian but couldn’t locate one. They notified Hazelwood police around 9:15 p.m.
