A Florida woman is accused of child neglect after her nonverbal son was found by himself, which her father said was "extremely abnormal."

Melissa Marie Luckett, 31, posted $5,000 bond after she was arrested on Saturday, after her neighbors allegedly found her 9-year-old son by himself. According to an arrest report reviewed by Law&Crime, a woman who was jogging on Saturday morning spotted the boy wearing nothing but a diaper and "running barefoot" near the road outside a gated community. When the boy kept running toward the road, the neighbor tried to stop him, but soon realized he might have special needs or was nonverbal, police said.
