COLUMBUS, Ohio — Franklin County Children Services said they have identified a toddler who was abandoned at a west Columbus convenience store Thursday.
The Columbus Division of Police received a call around 8:25 a.m. about the baby, who police say is 15 months old, was left at Circle K, located at 3749 Twin Creeks Drive.
Surveillance video obtained by 10TV shows a woman, who police believe to be the mother, walking to the back of the store with the child.
Moments later, the woman is then seen leaving the store without the child.
The video shows the store clerk and the child searching for the woman, but she is nowhere to be seen.
The child was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital before he was taken to Franklin County Children Services.
Franklin County Children Services said they are working with the family to make sure the child is safe.
The agency thanked the community for all the "thoughts, concerns, and tips" which they said helped identify the child.
