Devon’s mother, Heather Knight, told officers she went to the store around 3:30 a.m. to get cigarettes and left Devon with her father at her home, Creamer said.

Creamer said that at that time, officers went to Devon’s father’s house in Gray Court and spoke with him. He said the child was not with his father.

Around 9 a.m., wanting to speak to him again, but unable to find him, officers sent information to the media asking for the public's help in finding Devon’s father, Randolph Burton.

Knight told officers that she and Burton had recently had a disagreement.

Wow!
Safe.
I'm so happy but have to say I'm very surprised.

So glad that Devon was spotted by the kind person who called police and that he is now safe.
This could have turned out very badly.
I only wish he had a GoPro camera on him so we can see how it all happened.

Police said 2-year-old Devon Burton was found just before noon Friday walking down Farmer Street, less than a mile from his home.

Imagine looking up and seeing a little 2 year old having a stroll down the road. I would pee my pants.

I don't know what the temps were there this morning, but I'm further south than they are and it's only 43 degrees here right now. I have to guess it was below freezing in the wee hours. I'm feeling like this kid didn't stay outdoors all night. I wonder where he was.

Bless him! I would agree with FlossyMay. I don't think he was out all night. Sounds like LE doesn't think so, either. Hope they don't try to ask Devon what happened, though. I know a three year old who might or might not get the story straight. He might tell them his dad picked him up, but he might just as well say he went on a trip to the moon. Kids can't describe timeframes at that age very well. I'm not a child psychologist, so I don't know if they understand today, yesterday or last week, but I know from experience they use the words incorrectly.

That's why I wished Devon had had a GoPro camera on him.

So in that link it says what I pasted below. Does that mean she isn't even being charged for this incident is and is only being charged for a different incident? Or is she being charged for TWO incidents?

[FONT=&quot]Knight has reportedly been charged with unlawful neglect of a child in another case prior to this one.[/FONT]

I think she had a previous charge as well as one for this incident.
