Baby on Freeport Loop

Yesterday was especially difficult. I thought it may have been the heat. As the temperature climbed to over 90 I became so drained-listless. I sat outside with a group of school kids on a open concrete basketball court. There was no shade so I had to compose myself in front of those kids, but I was so hot. After school I was on my way home and I walked a different way to the bus stop. I stopped to speak to a recogniable face. As we stood there greeting each other a student from a near by school said, "is that baby near the street?" I could not believe my eyes. I could not believe that someone had the nerve to leave a baby alone on the street corner. This is the neighborhood of the missing seven year old Patrick Alford. There is no room for slip up. I reached into my bag and dialed 911.
