A baby girl was left alone in a Philadelphia daycare facility after it had closed.

Police said they responded to a call at around 5:30 after the parents of the child arrived at New Arisens Day Care and saw the building was closed and locked.

“I was hoping that someone didn’t take my daughter and I was hoping that she was okay,” Camron Banks, the girl’s father, said to 6ABC.

Police managed to get in contact with the owner of the daycare, however, they were unable to get the steel gate to lift higher than a few feet and police had to cut through it to enter, Fox29 said.

The child was found asleep in her car seat in a corner of the business. She was taken to a hospital to be evaluated.

Banks told Fox29 that he has been sending his child to this daycare for four months but has never been allowed inside. The daycare is supposed to close at 6 p.m., police said.

“At the end of the day, a 6-month-old baby should not be left alone,” Banks said to 6ABC.
