“The mom ran into work to take care of a few things and left the car running with the music on,” The mother was gone for about 20 minutes, and when she returned her car and her 8-year-old son were missing.
Norfolk police spokeswoman Melinda Wray tells PEOPLE, she said:
“Apparently, this was something she did regularly and had never had any problems.” All of our officers began looking for the car and this little boy, They found him just a little while later, “sitting in class as if nothing had happened,”
“They said his mom had told them to drive him to school, It was slightly odd to him. He was nervous because he had never seen these men before.” The child, after he learned the true details of what happened, he was obviously shaken. But the men were not trying to abduct him,They were just trying to steal the vehicle.”
“Apparently we have a couple classy criminals.”
The vehicle itself was located later on Wednesday, parked about three miles away from the school after a co-worker of the mother, tracked her iPhone she left inside the Chevrolet Impala.
In addition, the boy’s mother may face criminal charges of her own for leaving her son alone. Says Wray,
“Obviously, child neglect is something that investigators are looking into.”
