STAMFORD — A three-year-old child who went missing June 5 after wandering into a wooded area in Stamford was found safe following an hour-long search that drew a coordinated response from state and local emergency agencies.
The child, whose name was not released, was reported missing around 2:50 p.m. on June 5, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The toddler had last been seen approximately an hour earlier entering a wooded area near their home.
