Child screaming 'daddy, daddy' abandoned in Miami's Liberty City

LIBERTY CITY -- Police in this Miami neighborhood are looking for the parents of a child who was abandoned Thursday night, news partner NBC 6.
A witness told police that a car dropped the child off at about 11 p.m. in the area of Northwest 15th Avenue and 62nd Terrace.
"I've heard of this happening with pets and that's bad, but for this to happen to a child, to be left in the middle of nowhere, that's unbelievable," police spokesman Lt. Bill Schwartz said.
Police brought the child to the police department. She was wearing an oversized, multi-colored sweater and has white beads in her hair.
"This child was seen running down the street on 62nd Terrace from 15th Avenue Northwest, screaming, 'Daddy, daddy' and chasing a car -- a light brown or gold older model vehicle," Schwartz said.
Police canvassed the area but have not located the girl's parents. They also do not know the identity of the child, who they believe is 4 or 5 years old.
Police said based on the witness account, they are going with the assumption that the child's father was involved in the abandonment, although that hasn't been confirmed.
"You know, perhaps this was a family disturbance, a domestic, and this was a vendetta -- the father trying to get even with the mother," Schwartz said. "Well, when we catch the father we're going to get even with him."
Anyone who recognizes the child should call Miami police or Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
