In a disquieting incident in Loma Linda, CA, a school bus driver's watchful eye led to the discovery of a two-year-old child alone in the roadway on the afternoon of January 15, as reported by local authorities.
The bus driver, upon finding the toddler, stayed with the young child until San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies arrived around 4:17 p.m., according to a press release by the Sheriff-Coroner's Office, subsequently a welfare check at the child’s home on Taylor Street revealed a scene both disturbing and dangerous, with narcotics and multiple firearms accessible to the child and other siblings in the residence, this prompted officials to take immediate action.
A search warrant executed at the home resulted in the apprehension of Dantion Green McGuire, 34, and Monae Myers, 36, both identified as the toddler's parents and residents of Loma Linda; the couple now face serious charges, including child abuse, possession of a controlled substance while armed, and animal cruelty.
Following the arrests, the parents were booked into the Central Detention Center, while the Sheriff’s Department's investigation is ongoing, they are urging anyone with further information to step forward, concerned citizens can reach out to the department at (909) 366-4175 or stay anonymous by contacting We-Tip at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or by visiting the website wetip.com, where tips can be submitted securely without revealing one’s identity.
