In the early hours of the morning, a disturbing situation unfolded as Pittsburgh Police were alerted to the presence of a child, believed to be between the ages of 3 and 4, found wandering alone outside. The police were called to the 900 block of Woodlow Street shortly before 4:30 a.m. after a man on his way to work noticed the young child walking in sandals without proper attire for the cold weather.
The man, acting out of concern, took the child into his car to provide warmth while they waited for the authorities to respond. According to the City of Pittsburgh's official public safety blotter, officers took charge of the situation upon arrival and promptly ensured the child received medical attention.
Medic 3 transported the child to Children's Hospital, where she was reported to be stable. After doctors evaluated her, CYF took custody of her and is now overseeing her care. Following the immediate concern for the child's well-being, attention has turned to the broader circumstances leading to such an event. The Pittsburgh Police have commenced an investigation to uncover how the child ended up alone on the street in the early morning hours.
Details surrounding the incident remain sparse, with officials releasing limited information as the investigation continues.
