Texas Mom Arrested After Scared 6-Year-Old Left Alone at Florida Park
Police said the 41-year-old faces child neglect charges after her 6-year-old son was left alone for nearly an hour and later reported being scared.
- On Saturday, Sunny Isles Beach Police Department officers arrested Elena Sexton, 41, at Town Center Park after she allegedly left her 6-year-old son unattended for nearly an hour.
- A witness called 911 after the boy approached him saying he was 'scared' and 'had not eaten since breakfast' because his mother had left him alone at the park.
- After being taken into custody and read her rights, Sexton told officers she left to get toys from her car, then encountered a friend who invited her to 'get food, and she allegedly partook,' leaving her son behind.
- Authorities charged the Texas resident with child neglect without great bodily harm; a judge set her bond at $2,500 after her Court appearance on Monday.
- Police notified the Florida Department of Children and Families regarding the incident, though allegations in the arrest affidavit have not been proven in Court.
