A three-year-old boy who was abandoned in an Ohio cemetery with his dog just two days before Christmas has been reunited with his father, while his mother has been taken into care.
Police responded to a call on Wednesday afternoon after a witness reported seeing a blue car driving away from the cemetery, with the three-year-old youngster and his dog chasing after it.
Hinkley Police Chief David Centner said that both boy, named Tony, and the dog are now being looked after by his dad.
'I spoke with his father this morning and he expressed his appreciation to everyone for their generosity and said Tony is doing very well,' the chief wrote in a Facebook post.
'The mother is the focus of our investigation and is currently in the care of a local medical facility. We are working with the Municipal Law Director as to charges upon her release,' Centner said. 'I am not releasing her name until the time she is formally charged.'
The mother was supposed to have custody of the child at the time of the incident, while the boy's father had nothing to do with what happened in the Hope Memorial Gardens Cemetery and is cooperating with police as well as children services

This is sad and no excuses really.
