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.

Unforgivable.
Welcome to Miami-Dade County.
This just defies comprehension.
There are not too many stories posted here that are heartbreakers. This one sure is. To be called Daddy is a privilege not to be abused.
And the little girl's name is Jawquittiqua....
What can we expect? Libs have created a society where children are disposable and the courts have backed them up. It makes me sick to my stomach.
white beads in hair. hmm. anyone wanna guess her color?
"I was left on the street, with no shoes on my feet/And I watched my mommy and daddy drive away"
A complete disgrace. I hope a good and loving home is found for this poor child.
Where there is life there is hope. I don't know what happened before, but I hope the childs life gets better from here on.
Poor baby.

And before she was abandoned, who knows what else she went through? I hope the parents are caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And then left on a tiny, uncharted, deserted island infested with poisonous snakes and insects and surrounded by shark-infested water.
I wish I'd quit clicking on these links. They always make me want to barf. Anybody think this child will not be warped for a lifetime with this kind of trauma deep within her memory? I hope a good foster home can rebuild her. The terror she must be feeling right now...heartbreaking.
As a former Miami resident, this is a black neighborhood.
As a parent, that just rips my heart out. I cannot image the creature who would do that to their child.
Oh man, this just tears my heart out. If human beings are the best the "intelligent designer" can do, it doesn't say much for the "designer's" own intelligence. Sigh.
This is just, saddly, the logical path from the Roe v. Wade ruling. Once they successfully labeled the child a "blob" of tissue that can be exterminated, then people become immune to what happens to children. People don't care anymore....if life can be ripped apart while inside the protective womb of the mother because it is a burden, then why not abandon a child if it becomes a burden? They are already angling to eradicate the elderly, for what....being a burden on society.
This is the path this nation has chosen to walk. If this keeps up, God is going to have apologize to Sodom and Gommorah.
That is a sad story but then I remember my late Mother and marvel at what an unbelievably great person God created.
It's obvious what both of you are trying to point out.
Any thoughts for the abandoned child?
And it will be hard to convince her that she wasn't abandoned because she's a bad little girl who doesn't deserve to be loved. I can see her fleeing into a teenage boy's arms--and early pregnancy--in about 10 years, unless she's lucky enough to get great foster/adoptive parents.
