Police are worried a second child in the car may still be at risk. Abc7 News Reporter vic lee joins us live with the latest on the developing story. Vic . Reporter well, alma, police are releasing only a little bit of information tonight, presumably they are still looking for the couple who abandoned that child. And, by the way, that child is now with protective childrens protective services. Its offices are here on otis street. Now, here is what we have learned so far. It happened last night shortly after 6 00. The couple who may be the parents left the child, who sources tell us is about 5 years old here at the rest stop at great highway and slope boulevard. The same sources tell us the couple is from arkansas and that there may be another child still with them. This has, of course, a lot of people around the beach talking about the abandonment. Everyone we spoke with spoke with anger and disbelief. You will now hear from two parents of small children. I cannot imagine how a parent could do that to their kid. Crazy. Maybe they have another child, the child saw that you dumped that baby, that child is like, what if im next. That makes my blood boil. No one ever should have endured that, that poor child. Reporter so, again, police are still searching for that couple. We can only presume that that 5yearold child is cooperating with police, is telling police a little about or as much as he can. We called our sister station, by the way, in arkansas to see if they received any missing childrens report. And they do monitor those reports around the state. They tell us they have not.

A. s office indicated its sixmonth long investigation was over, but wouldnt rule out the possibility of the more criminal charges.
