For the second time in a month a very young child has been found wandering the streets of St. Thomas in the middle of the night.

It’s was around 5:30 Friday morning when police were alerted that a 3-year-old boy was out, alone, in the area of Balaclava and Malakoff streets.

Police discovered the boy in the back of a Boston Pizza and took him back to the station.

The boy’s father came to the police station looking for him about four hours later, after waking up and realizing his child wasn’t there.

The child had apparently spotted his Mom leaving the house and tried to follow her.
