A local father was arrested after his two toddlers were found by themselves at a Hudson Valley school. According to police, one was naked and one was found with a head injury.
On Thursday around 8:20 a.m., New York State Police and the Village of Florida Police responded to the S. S. Seward Institute on North Main Street in the Village of Florida for a report of two abandoned toddlers.
