One-Year-Old Boy Found In Diaper Walking Alone With Pitbull In Florida

Florida Toddler Found In Diaper Walking Alone With Pitbull In The Rain

A toddler was found walking alone with a pitbull while it was raining and authorities say this is not the first time.

Cape Coral Police arrested Mary Jane Wright,37, last week after her one-year-old son was found wandering around with the family dog after responding to a call about an unsupervised toddler.

According to Yahoo! News, the officers found the boy in a soiled diaper with no pants and shoes. However, this is not the first time Wright has been arrested by police in relation to child neglect and other charges. On April 4, officers went to the address after a child was found wearing a diaper and walking around outside without an adult.

A month later, they received another call about a naked child walking around with a broken glass bottle. When police asked her why she left her toddler unsupervised, Wright claimed her two 15-year-old kids, and two younger children, aged 8 and 6, were supposed to be watching him.

She was also under investigation by the Florida Department of Children and Families in 2019 due to several cases involving runaway juveniles, battery, and domestic disturbances.

In 2009, a jury found Wright guilty of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription and selling methamphetamine. The state’s DCF advised her to get chimes for her doors and windows so she could be aware of when the boy would leave the home again.

Officers said in their report that Wright didn’t secure any areas of the home to prevent the toddler from escaping and various dangerous items that were spread around the home. Wright is expected to appear in court on July 5 and the DCF said in a statement that it is unclear if they’re going to pursue further action due to the recent case.
