According to Cobourg police, in August officers were called to a motel in the town after a child was left unattended in a room.
Police say officers found a “young child” in a motel room with no parent or guardian on-site.
The child was taken to Northumberland Hills Hospital to be evaluated and was later placed in the care of Highland Shores Children’s Aid.
A warrant was issued for the child’s father. On Monday, officers found the father and arrested him.
A 31-year-old man from Quinte West was charged with abandoning a child.
He was released on an undertaking with conditions and has a future court date in Cobourg in October, police said Tuesday.
