CAMDEN, S.C. (AP) -- A 2-year-old boy who authorities say was protected on an unseasonably cold night by the family dog has wandered from home a second time in just over a week.
This time, Kershaw County deputies arrested the boy's mother and her boyfriend, charging them with illegal neglect of a child.
Sheriff Jim Matthews says a neighbor found the boy late Sunday morning about a third of a mile from his home. The boy was not hurt and the family dog was by his side.
The sheriff thinks the same dog stayed with the boy keeping him safe and warm in the early morning hours of April 2 after the child walked away from home the first time.
It was unclear if 25-year-old Jacklyn Jacobson or 21-year-old Jose Gloria have a lawyer.
