Dad faces child abuse charges for leaving infant in car in Macomb Twp. - Detroit
Christine Ferretti / The Detroit News
Macomb Township -- Sheriff officials say charges have been approved for a 20-year-old Clinton Township man accused of abandoning his infant daughter in the family minivan outside a mobile home park on Saturday.
Macomb County Sheriff Department Capt. John Roberts said the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office has authorized child abuse charges for the man, who is not yet in police custody. His name is being withheld.
The wife, who is not being identified, contacted a relative who resides in the mobile home park. That relative found the van unlocked, with the keys in the ignition and the 1-year-old girl inside. Roberts said police believe the father left the child in that area, knowing a relative lived there.
It is unclear how long the infant was left alone inside the car, but police know the father did return to the couple's home to gather undisclosed items.
Roberts said no charges will be filed against the mother.
The child was not injured and is currently in good health.

Roberts said the man's wife said she last saw her husband around 2:50 p.m. Saturday when he dropped her off at work. The woman later received a phone call around 10 p.m. from a concerned friend alerting her that the family's van and the baby appeared to be parked at the Hometown Macomb mobile home community near Hall and Card roads.
