A child with Down Syndrome was found abandoned in an empty Louisville apartment Monday.
Police said the 6-year-old girl walked through her neighbor’s open door. The neighbor said the girl was covered in her own waste, and that there was no one in the apartment where the girl lives.
WAVE3 News in Louisville reports aid was available for the girl and her mother, but apparently, the woman stopped asking for help once her daughter was too old to attend a program she had been enrolled in previously.

Police said the girl had been abandoned for days.
“It really makes me angry because I could never imagine leaving my children, especially one with a disability, by herself,” said neighbor Anna Johnson. “She gave me a big hug, and I was like ‘where’s mommy?’ ”
Home of the Innocents has taken the girl and a foster parent with ties to the organization will be her caregiver.
No charges have been filed against the mother at this time, but police are continuing their investigation
