Human Services Worker Charged With Child Neglect
A human services worker for the state is charged with child neglect after leaving a baby in a Department of Human Services van after a visit with family in Bend. Kenneth Anderson parked the van and forgot about the eight-month-old baby that was sleeping in the vehicle. He left in a different vehicle and about a half hour later remembered the baby. He contacted his supervisor. The baby was taken to a hospital for evaluation and released. Bend Police say it's an unfortunate reminder for anyone caring for a child to always check the vehicle before walking away.
