The child, who police believe is around 2-3 years old, was found at Lake and Main Street by a woman driving by in her car around 9 a.m., officers said. She was wearing just a diaper and a sweatshirt.

Police were searching for the child's family for nearly six hours.

The child is still with Child Protective Services.
