Boy's daycare center left him behind at the zoo

WEST PALM BEACH --A day care center left a little boy behind after a trip to the zoo.

Police said little Gotti Pierre went with this classmates from My First Steps on Westgate Avenue to Dreher Park at around 2 p.m. Thursday.

The class left the park two hours later and returned to the day care center -- without Pierre. Police said whoever was in charge of the class miscounted the students, and left the little boy behind. He was discovered missing when his mother came to the daycare center to pick him up at 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, someone who lives near the park called police after finding the boy alone. Investigators said all the boy would say was "hot dog.," so they couldn't get the information they needed to track down the boy's parents.

Police eventually tracked down the daycare center, and the mother was contacted and reunited with her son.
