Police say that neighbours
in a building on Kingston Drive in Canton, Ohio called after hearing a child
crying for at least half an hour at the Skyline Terrace apartments, according
to IndeOnline.
The young boy's parents
have been arrested on Thursday after he was found stuck in a toilet while left
home alone.
The superintendent allowed
cops inside the building where they reportedly found a two-year-old boy stuck
in the toilet.
The poor tyke had apparently
used the toilet and fell inside and got trapped.
Police say his parents were
nowhere to be found.
Authorities freed the boy,
and then set about trying to find his parents and called social workers.
They also reportedly found
three marijuana plants growing in a cupboard.
Nearly two hours later, the
boy's mother, Justice M. Chance, 20, returned from the store, carrying Walmart
bags.
Cops say the mom had
apparently left the child home while she went shopping.
She reportedly told police
that her sister was supposed to be watching the child - but could not give
police her own sister's last name.
The boy's father, Rashaad M
Cuffee, was also arrested. It's unclear where he was.
The pair have been charged
with child endangerment, illegal cultivation of marijuana and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
As of early Friday, they
were both in jail.
Stark County Department of
Job & Family Services has been awarded temporary custody of the child.
