A mother has been arrested and charged with neglect.
She is accused of leaving her child outside all day in the dangerous heat.
A call to 9-1-1 was placed when the child started screaming for his mother outside of their apartment door.
Officers arrived on the scene around 3:30, over eight hours since the child was first seen outdoors.
The child had no access to food or water during that time.
Witnesses never saw his mother check on him.
30-year-old Lissandra Denis is in the Vanderburgh County Jail without bond.
