A young girl was found wandering alone with a small dog near a shopping center in Santa Clarita, California, on Wednesday night.
Deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to a call from a teenager, Julius Rivera, who spotted the child walking near Magic Mountain Parkway and McBean Parkway around 10 p.m. Rivera said,
“I saw this little girl walking down the road by herself and… I was following her to make sure nothing happened to her and I was trying to stop her. But then she was running from me so I called the cops.”
When deputies arrived, they found the girl, believed to be around five years old, wearing only a diaper and a shirt. She was able to guide the deputies back to her home at a nearby apartment complex. Her mother was detained, but further details about the situation have not been disclosed. The girl was safely released to her father.
