A Florida mother who left her three-year-old son home alone while she went to a bar has been arrested after he was found wandering the streets barefoot half a mile from his home.
Deputies in Orange County, Orlando, arrested 24-year-old Nicole Finnell on child neglect charges after little Daniel Finnell escaped the house and made it onto busy Hoffner Avenue.
Spotted by two passers-by, officers were called to pick up the child and then drove around the neighbourhood until they found a home with lights on, a door open and nobody home.
