The mother of a 3-year-old boy left behind in a Utah County corn maze apparently has some explaining to do to state child protective services officials.
Spanish Fork police Sgt. Joe Monson said that the child was noticed by a woman visiting the Crazy Corn Maze, at 8800 S. 4000 West, about 7:30 p.m. Monday.
Police were called to the scene, and after failing to find the boy’s mother or learn his identity, he was put in the safe-keeping of the Utah Division of Child and Family Services overnight.
Monson said that the boy was upset but uninjured when found, and police believe he had not been lost for long before the “good Samaritan” found him.
