COPPERAS COVE, Texas ( KWTX /Gray News) – A mother and her boyfriend are facing charges after being accused of moving out of her apartment and leaving her son behind to fend for himself, according to an affidavit.

Erica Renee Sanders and Keven Dwayne Adams are charged with abandoning and endangering a child without intent to return.

Police were called Oct. 17 to investigate reports of an abandoned child at an apartment complex.

Officers met a 12-year-old boy who said his mother and her boyfriend moved out while he was at school. The boy told officers the apartment was empty when he got home.
