Postal Dad Leaves Baby Behind During Mail Quagmire
West Palm Beach father leaves kid in car during two hour post office wait
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
Seven Emeka Ezumba
Everyone knows the wait at the post office can take an eternity, so when a West Palm Beach father left his seven-month-old son in the car while he tended to his mailing needs, he probably should have known better.
Seven Emeka Ezumba (that's right, the number), was charged with child abuse Tuesday for leaving his kid behind in a hot car as he dealt with postal bureaucracy for a solid two hours, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
The youngster was taken to a nearby hospital after he was found with a high temperature and in distress outside the post office in the 3200 block of Summit Blvd. The car's window had been lowered a scant three inches.
Ezumba, 22, said he'd been checking on the toddler regularly as he ran his afternoon errands.
