SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- (WKEF) -- A Springfield woman has been charged with child endangering after her toddler was found wandering in a parking lot in the rain.
According to a police report, someone called 911 after finding the toddler in a parking lot in the 200 block of Brubaker Drive. The caller told dispatchers she had changed the child's diaper because it was extremely full of feces.
