Last Saturday in Gilmer County, the authorities received a call from someone asking them to check on a situation regarding the suspected child neglect of a youngster. West Virginia State Police Gilmer County troopers were sent to the address to investigate.
When they reached the apartment complex, a bystander informed the troopers that they saw a child playing alone in the rain. They also asserted that they did not think the youngster was dressed warmly enough for the 48-degree temperature.
