Police arrested 26-year-old Kristen Purrott and charged her with risk of injury after her child wandered away from home.
Police made the decision to arrest Purrott based on the amount of time the child was unaccounted for, and the fact that the child crossed a busy street alone and was found by an unknown person to the family.
Purrott was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and was scheduled to be in court on Friday.
Purrott said that the child had a history of leaving the house and had purchased new locks for the doors to prevent him from leaving. She said that she had the intention of installing the new locks on Thursday.
