EAST ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) â Police say a day care center left a 2-year-old girl behind on a New York beach after a group outing and called authorities three hours later to see if anyone had found her.
State park police say a woman told them that the toddler had been playing with her child Tuesday at Heckscher State Park. When the woman wanted to leave at 3:30 p.m., she started wondering where the child's mother was.
Newsday (http://bit.ly/QAVtMo ) reports that Our Little Darlings Day Care in Bay Shore called police three hours later to ask whether the girl had been found.
The child wasn't harmed and has been returned to her distraught mother.
Police say no charges have been filed. The investigation is continuing.

Like I said before, we have become a society too distracted for our own good. That day care center better get a really good attorney because the lawsuit is coming. One that is well deserved.

A 19-year-old woman working at a Jersey City daycare has been charged with breaking the leg of a 4-month-old boy in her care and failing to get medical attention for the infant, officials said.
Heather L. McDonald, of Summit Avenue in Jersey City, made her first court appearance yesterday on the charges of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child and child abuse.
Hudson County Superior Court Judge Paul DePascale set bail at $50,000 cash or bond for the employee of the Academy of Learning on Sherman Place, officials said.
The alleged incident occurred on Monday, Aug. 6, and the criminal complaint says McDonald injured the child âby breaking the tibia bone of the victimâs left leg with her hand.â
