A Calhoun woman was arrested on last week and charged with two counts of cruelty to children after police responded to a 911 call from a child who said he didn’t know where his parents were, The Calhoun Times reported.
Police say Laura Michelle Overfield, 25, of a Holly Hills residence, allegedly left the child, a 6-year-old, alone with an 8-month-old child for an estimated 35 minutes while she visited a neighbor.
An officer arrived on scene following the 911 call to find the 6-year-old standing in the doorway crying, according to police reports. Reports say the officer went inside and found the 8-month-old on the top of a 14-step staircase.
When the officer found Overfield, she told him that she had put the children to bed and brought flowers and a sympathy card over to a neighbor who had recently lost a family member, according to the police report.
DFACS officials were called to the scene and the children were left in the custody of a family member.

Trion Police Chief Chad Spraggins says that Tavern Lane is closed in the Town of Trion. A tree blew down and downed a power line. Georgia Power is supposed to be sending in a crew to take care of the power line but many of their resources are being directed to the Adairsville and Calhoun areas at this time. Spraggins said after the power company crew has taken care of the power line, Trion Public Works crews would clean up the tree. Tavern Lane will be closed until the work can be completed.
