Tow truck tows away three-year-old

HOUSTON - A wrecker towed a vehicle with a 3-year-old boy sleeping inside to a private storage lot on Wednesday. The child was not hurt. The boy's aunt had left her Toyota Rav4 to go into a business. She called police when she realized the car was gone.

Employees at the lot also called police when they saw the boy inside. Paramedics examined the boy and determined he was fine.
Police said there didn't appear to be any wrongdoing on the tow-truck driver's part. Spokesman John Cannon said the car's windows were dark enough to prevent the driver from seeing the inside.
"Any time you leave a child unattended inside a vehicle, no matter what the conditions are, we take that very seriously," Cannon said in a story posted Wednesday on the Houston Chronicle Web site.
