A 4-year-old child was found wandering at the Green Roof Inn and Suites, and the mother was arrested in connection with the incident.
According to a Cobb County criminal warrant, Fumiko Paimi Blakely left the child in a room on May 7 while she went to work.
"The child was found wandering the hotel grounds asking strangers for food," an officer wrote in a Cobb County criminal warrant. The child "had been left alone in that condition for a period of at least 6 hours. Residents of the hotel contacted police when it became apparent the child's mother was not available."
