Caught on cam: 2-year-old dropped on doorstep

The father of a boy who was left on the doorstep of a Spring, Texas home Wednesday night says a friend dropped the child off at the wrong house.

According to Montgomery County deputies, a woman called 911 and said that she found a boy on her stoop after hearing a knock at her door.

Investigators said surveillance video shows a woman arrive at the home in a white car, run to the front door of the home, lift the child by one arm to place him on the porch, ring the doorbell several times, knock on the door, run back to the car and leave. The entire incident took 23 seconds.

Lt. Scott Spencer, of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, said that the child’s father received a text message from the child’s mother saying the boy would be dropped off at his house on Wednesday afternoon. Spencer said the child was not dropped off as planned because the mother was admitted to the hospital, and asked a friend to drop the child off at the father’s house. Read more: http://bit.ly/2AhxinD
