Preliminary investigations reveal that the father arrived at the daycare to pick up his son, only to be told that the child had not been in attendance that day. Tragically, the child was then found in the back of the car, where he had apparently been left all day.

St. Petersburg Police are currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding this devastating event and whether any charges will be filed.
