OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha woman says she received a citation after her 4-year-old son who has autism wandered away from their home last week.
Police say that 911 dispatchers received a call about an unaccompanied child standing on a street corner. Officers found the boy but weren't able to determine where he lived or the names of his parents.
Meanwhile, dispatchers received a call about 15 minutes later from a woman who said her son was missing and couldn't find him. She said that he had left the house without her knowledge after she went to answer the phone.
Police brought the boy to Watson but cited her on suspicion of child neglect.
