I can hardly believe this story. The director of this day care should be arrested.

There is not enough info in that story. If he was there for SEVEN HOURS after the daycare closed...how long until his parents realized this? And if you were the cops, would you just sit around outside the building doing nothing for the hours they say it took to get someone there to unlock the building? And why didn't the parents pick the baby up before the daycare center closed?

Forget the police. I would have broken in myself if I thought my child was in there.
Something is not right with this story. It sounds like Mom did not act quite right (not that the day care did either!) or it would not have taken until the wee hours of the morning to find the poor baby.

Likewise, and if I were the cops, I'd have been on the owner's doorstep instead of sitting there going, 'oh, they hung up on me again'.

Who goes looking through their house for a baby that was supposed to be picked up? You call the sister (if she isn't there)...then you go to the daycare
The mother is guilty of negligence. The sister is guilty of negligence. The daycare is guilty of negligence....and the police...at what point do you wait to get to a child who hasn't been cared for since 6:30 pm?
I sure would not call those particular policemen if my kids somehow managed to lock themselves with my keys into my vehicle....

I can easily see how something like this could happen, and I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. There are so many overwhelmed, low income, single mothers without reliable and/or loving family support in the City of Cleveland. Whenever I go into the city, I am amazed at how many storefront daycare operations exist, and I'm thankful for my life at home raising my own children. Many of these moms are the products of generational poverty, ignorance, and hopelessness. They really do need our prayers.
I was a single parent for three years before marrying dh. I chose to live on welfare and attend college instead of working so I could better care for my twins. I was led to that decision after leaving them at a government subsidized daycare where my daughter was left lying in a soiled diaper because it was close to the time that I was to pick her up and the day care worker felt it was "too much trouble to take her snowsuit off and change her."
Another issue where the church body often judges but does little to help.

That isn't a choice anymore. From the age of six months moms are expected to work--no more re-training or college degrees, they'd rather pay through the nose for awful daycare while you flip burgers!
I am an overwhelmed, low-income single mom, but I still always knew where my kids were! I agree with WOF...every person in this situation seems to have been negligent.

As a student of Early Childhood Education this saddens me for a couple of reasons.
First it make daycare/preschool look bad and there are so many wonderful place out there for children to go. I know because I have worked in one.
Second it reinforces the myth that some have that we are "just babysitters" I am no going to school to become a babysitter.

What a sweet little boy...and seriously, how do you just leave a child like that in a building. Aren't there protocals from locking up, etc.?
Daycare closed at 6:30 pm.
Mom arranged for family member to pick up child.
Mom got home, probably long after 6:30 - maybe 7:30 or 8 pm
She then starts calling family to see where baby is, trying not to panic.
When she has exhausted that (about an hour) it's probably closer to 9 pm.
Police are called, they arrive 20-30 minutes later...then daycare owner called. 30 more minutes pass.
She is called again - twice and hangs up so it's probably getting on to about 10 pm or so.
So, Yes...I would have kicked the door in. Or a window or something...had that been my child. At the very least, I would've called emergency services like fire department to get into the building.

I cannot imagine why the police did not break in. I would be furious if I was that mom.
How does this thing happen when the parents are conscientious? I don't think it does.
