Police unite wandering toddler, parents
Palo Alto police officers have reunited parents with their toddler daughter who had slipped out the door and taken a stroll to the park by herself.Around 9:40 a.m. Sunday, police responded to calls of a 2-year-old girl playing by herself at Heritage Park. Police did not locate her parents in a quick search of the park, but neighbors recognized the girl and directed officers to her home, where her father was still asleep after working a night shift, Agent Dan Ryan said in a statement.
The child's mother had left for church and the girl had slipped out the home's door without waking up her father, Ryan said.
"The child usually goes to the park each morning to play and she did the same thing this morning, only without her parent," Ryan said.
The girl was returned home unharmed.
