Twin Falls Daycare Under Heat After Child Found Wondering Street

Twin Falls, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV ) - A Twin Falls daycare is at the center of a controversy. Idaho’s First News reports Miss Diedre's Daycare is under fire after a toddler was found walking down a Twin Falls Street with a stranger Wednesday unsupervised.

Diedre Hamann, the daycare owner says this is the first time it's happened. She says that she was behind the house with a plumber when the child got loose.  Lt. Craig Stotts with the Twin Falls Police Department said they got a call from a concerned citizen who found the child in the road.

The toddler’s mother Julia Brown says she pulled her child from the daycare and wont press charges.  The investigation is still in the preliminary stages. If the Twin Falls Police department files charges, it would be misdemeanor child neglect.
