Police said it was early Sunday when the child fell out of a window. She then knocked on a neighbor’s door on Center Street, near Auburn and South Paddock.

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said the child is OK. He said the girl’s the father told police that she had a history of trying to climb out the window.

“A young child, a little over two, had knocked on the door of a home, she was clothed only in a diaper, looked like she had abarsions on her body, and some paint on her leg, so they obviously called police and we responded. Further investiation revealed that the child had fallen out of a second story window after being left home alone,” said Bouchard.

Police said the father claims he left the girl alone to buy cigarettes after walking the mother to her job.

The girl was been placed into protective custody.
