Dad accused after discovering a baby crawling on the road to New Jersey

A father was charged on Friday after seeing a baby crawling on a New Jersey road by a driver.

Evgeniy Dorman, 41, was charged with cruelty and negligence towards a child after she went to the police just after 1 pm, reported Asbury Park Press. He was released pending a later hearing date.

The shocking incident that occurred on Sept. 22 drew national attention after a photo of the creepy Lakewood baby appeared in a Facebook message that has since been deleted. Cory Cannon, who posted the photo, told the Asbury Park press that he thought the child was a toy until he saw movement. .

"I thought it was a toy or something like that until it moved," he told the newspaper. "I knew I had to get some sort of proof and my GPS was open on my phone, so I used my work vehicle to slow down the traffic behind me and I took the picture out of the vehicle and stopping oncoming cars. "

LIBRARY FOUND THROUGH NEW SURVEY ON THE PROMOTION OF THE JERSEY ROAD

A neighbor took the baby home to his parents, who did not know he was gone before he returned home.

The child was not injured in the incident.

Police discovered that the 10-month-old boy had crawled about 140 feet from an open door, probably left open by an older brother, in the street where he was later found by Cannon.

A woman who identified herself as the manager stated that the incident was an accident.
