Toddler abandoned at Wal-Mart

A two-year-old was found wandering a Wal-Mart in Frankfort, Indiana, after he was abandoned there by his mother. Police found a handwritten note in the child’s backpack.

“The letter suggests that he was abandoned. Nobody has come forward to report him missing.”

Deputy Police Chief Randy Emery said the note, written in Spanish, is believed to have been penned by the boy’s mother. In it, she states that the family moved to the United States from Guatemala about a year ago and that her husband left them 10 months ago.

The letter says she does not have the financial means to feed him or provide shelter. His backpack contained a baby bottle, “sippy” cups, diapers and toys, Emery said.

We actually prefer Target over Wal-Mart when it comes to child abandonment options.
