JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Channel 2 Action News has learned that a child was left inside a metro Atlanta daycare during a fire evacuation this week.

Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Ashli Lincoln was at the O2B Kids daycare in Johns Creek Friday, where parents said that while they were notified about the fire, they were not told about a child being left behind.

Johns Creek Fire confirmed that they responded to reports of a fire on Tuesday that was the result of a box being left on a stove.

After the building was evacuated, an employee who also had a student at the facility realized their child was not outside.

“The cook went in to get the child,” fire officials said. The employee found the child napping in a corner.
