A woman in Orlando, Fla., was arrested Thursday after her 2-year-old son was found walking alone on a road at 3 a.m., according to police.
Investigators said the boy was found near the intersection of Semoran and Bent Pine Drive.
Police said the boy's mother, Alexandra Rodriguez, 20, went to find his father after the pair got into an argument and left the toddler alone in an apartment.
When Rodriguez returned to the apartment two hours later, police were waiting for her and took the woman into custody.
Rodriguez faces child neglect charges.
She was transported to the Orange County Jail Thursday.
