A woman was caught on surveillance cameras abandoning a toddler on a stranger's doorstep after ringing the bell and running away before anyone could
answer the door.
The woman was seen on October 17 at around 8.20pm approaching the home in Spring, Texas. She had with her a 2-year-old boy. She then rang the doorbell and ran off immediately, leaving the boy.
When the homeowner answered, the little boy was staring at her with his belongings by his side. The woman took him inside and called police who then reviewed her surveillance camera footage. Afterwards, the boy was taken into protective custody but within several hours, tips from the public identified him.
The boy has been identified as Royal Prince Simmons. Royal's father lives next door to the house where he was dropped off, according to ABC.
Police have not yet confirmed whether the woman, who is yet to be named, thought she was leaving him at his father's home at the time.
It is not clear if the child remains in police custody or if he has been reunited with his father.
Neither the father nor the woman in the video has been named.
