Chacon to serve 5 days for leaving child alone

A father who went to work and left his child home alone was among those appearing Thursday before General Sessions Judge Larry Ross in General Sessions Court.

The father, Javier Chacon, was directed to serve five days of an 11-29 sentence and must pay $10 plus costs for child neglect and driving without a license.

He was charged after neighbors reported seeing his 3-year-old child playing near Bybee Branch Road. During a subsequent investigation it was discovered the child’s mother had left the child in the father’s custody. However, while having custody of the child, Chacon reportedly left the child in bed and went to work. It was thereafter the child made its way outside where it was seen by neighbors.
