LIBERTY CITY -- Police in this Miami neighborhood are looking for the parents of a child who was abandoned Thursday night, news partner NBC 6.
A witness told police that a car dropped the child off at about 11 p.m. in the area of Northwest 15th Avenue and 62nd Terrace.
"I've heard of this happening with pets and that's bad, but for this to happen to a child, to be left in the middle of nowhere, that's unbelievable," police spokesman Lt. Bill Schwartz said.
Police brought the child to the police department. She was wearing an oversized, multi-colored sweater and has white beads in her hair.
"This child was seen running down the street on 62nd Terrace from 15th Avenue Northwest, screaming, 'Daddy, daddy' and chasing a car -- a light brown or gold older model vehicle," Schwartz said.
Police canvassed the area but have not located the girl's parents. They also do not know the identity of the child, who they believe is 4 or 5 years old.

Thankfully, my years in Miami were spent near Doral Country Club, where the worst thing that would happen was a golf ball going through your window. Not all of Miami-Dade County is that bad, its just that the worst areas (North County-Liberty City, Goulds, Overtown, etc.) are VERY bad.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize English wasn't your first language.
the fact that the racist idiots are being slammed is a real nice thing to see!
he is probably drunk as well as being racist.
What a beautiful little child! "Daddy" should have his arms and legs removed, heavily tarred, feathered, then dropped from a high bridge into a shallow river!
Its the only place I would live in Florida were I to move back (my parents live in the liberal hell hole of Boca Raton).
The design is faulty in many, many ways. To expand on this, I'd have to get into a discussion of predestination vs. free will.
FReeRepublic is a radio station? The link given is to a radio station? Who knew?
You're grasping. You give the good name of redneck a bad taste. I had an uncle and still have a cousin who's a redneck, they come by the term honestly. They do/did an honest days work on the family ranch running cattle and raising different crops.
The areas along the beach and intercoastal are nice. Coral Springs and Coconut Creek are OK (though controlled by liberals). The rest of the county s-cks IMHO.
In other words, in terms of quality of life, Broward and Miami-Dade are about equal. The only things slightly better about Miami-Dade are 1. The nightlife and 2. The fact that there are actually Republican districts, unlike Broward. When I lived in Doral, it was the first time I had GOP representation in the state house, state Senate (the great Rudy Garcia) and Congress.
Besides, the hottest women live in Coral Gables and Key Biscayne. :-)
dear mr. "redneck",
and what do you say when people who are white or some other race abandon their children? or when black parents do a good job of parenting?
you are giving rednecks a bad name.
you might consider changing your screen name to "hitech racist".
I am not sure what that has to do with a child but ok. Somtimes local news takes it for granted about these things and don't report the race because most people who live there already know who lives where. Understand? So if you don't live in that area you may not get the full picture. It's not a conspiracy against you and it's not always a PC thing. The media is very fickle and that's just how it is.
Hey you know sometimes when little is asked of someone, you get a big answer.
Talk about ass u me...what if she'd had pink ribbons and they mentioned that? Or in your world do only caucasion children have pink ribbons and not white beads?
A friend of mine who moved from Hialeah to Pembroke Pines and then to suburban Chicago used to call it "Pembroke Slimes." Its not that bad of a place (much better than Miramar and less pretentious than the OVERRATED town of Weston!).
You are right, of course. My apologies to demkicker.
a good point.
it's probably even true that the media put in little racial details instead of saying the name of the race.
i've noticed that trick in the new york times. (whether the times does it consciously, or unconsciously, i don't know.)
but this "redneck" guy is clearly obsessed with race, and seems to think that anyone who disagrees with him is some sort of PC fanatic!

Dear Mr. HiTech,
Since you have brought race into the story, I believe you need to do some self examination.
In viewing the picture of the abandoned child, I see a beautiful bronzed american.
It might just be possible that the child has a darker skinned mother and a white father.
If the father turns out to be white skinned, are all white skinned fathers capable of abandoning their children?
I believe you owe an apology to all fathers, except for the one who abandoned this precious little girl.
Hey sometimes it's blatant. Other times they leave out race because hey if it happens where you live and it's 99% black, the person is probably black (whether's it's perp or victim). You're right about the Times too!
