Dad, aunt arrested after toddler found alone on rooftop

A 2-year-old boy was found by cops alone on the rooftop of a Connecticut home Monday, leading to the arrest of the tot’s dad and aunt, cops said.

David Hustek, 23, and Sarah Barker, 20, were both sleeping and unaware the toddler was 30 feet above ground when cops arrived to the Ansonia, Ct., home at about 8:45 a.m., authorities said.

Video first obtained by WFSB shows the the boy pacing back and forth atop the second-story roof as officers from the Ansonia Police Department arrive.

The same clip shows one of the cops wrangle the child from an open window.

He was taken to a local hospital and didn’t appear to be injured, police said.

The home “was found to be in deplorable living conditions” and was condemned by the city, police said in a release.

Hustek and Barker were charged with risk of injury of a minor and reckless endangerment.

They’re being held on $10,000 bond and their arraignment is set for Thursday.
