The mother of a 3-year-old in North Carolina was arrested when she was accused of leaving the boy unsupervised after he was found walking down the street alone wearing only underpants.

Reports suggest that young children, especially toddlers, are prone to wandering away from home in an attempt to satisfy their curiosity about their expanding world. While caregivers typically employ several measures to prevent kids from doing so, it is virtually impossible to watch them at all times.

At some point before 10:00 AM, several people reported that they saw a youngster walking around by himself, and he only had underwear on.
