"To me that's like neglect, if it was me, ain't no way I'd be letting my child wander the streets this time of morning. It's 4 o' clock in the morning. That is very, very sad to see a child wandering the streets this time of morning," he said.

According to the girl's mother, Gertrude Casimir, her daughter went out through a window around 3:30 a.m. When she woke up around 7 a.m. and found her missing she immediately called police. After speaking to police, she was reunited with her daughter. No charges will be filed.
