Boy Left Alone In Park Recalls Danish Woman's Story

By Newsradio 88 Staff

A 7-year-old Paterson, New Jersey, boy is in foster care this morning after his mother left him alone in a Manhattan park while she worked in an office 16 blocks away.

Twenty-five year old Tatiana Glotova, a Russian immigrant, told police she didn't know she had done anything wrong, echoing the case of a Danish mom arrested for leaving her toddler in a stroller outside an East village restaurant.

Police say the boy was alone in Madison Square Park for at least two hours before a group of woman reported him to a police officer.
