BATTLE CREEK (WKZO-AM) — A 25-year-old Battle Creek woman has been charged with child neglect after she allegedly left her two toddlers unattended in a Beckley Road motel room for hours Monday night.
The situation became a police matter when one of the customers at the motel found a four-year-old wandering around the parking lot crying for her mother.
The guest asked the boy which room he was in and he led the man to room 104, where another preschooler was sleeping. When their mother showed up hours later, she was arrested for child neglect.
The children were left with their grandmother.
Child Protective Services will investigate.
