Three year old girl found (kind of) wandering around in Highland Park

The first reports of this were that a three year old girl had been found wandering the streets of Highand Park by the fire department — who were on a call nearby.

Police tell us early this morning, in the dark, the 3-year-old walked out the front door of her home, without her mother knowing. The fire department says they were actually on their way to another call on Carolina Avenue, when someone flagged them down and alerted them to the girl outside.

Then as the story developed it turned out that she ended up on a neighbors porch. There’s no word on how long she had been out of her house.

Police now say that 3-year-old girl found this morning outside of her home in Richmond, was found on a neighbors porch. We’ve learned Child Protective Services, along with the Richmond Police are investigating right now.
