Toddler Found Walking Alone on Roof of Condemned CT Home

Police rescued a 2-year-old boy from the roof of an Ansonia home Wednesday morning and police have arrested the child’s father and aunt. Building officials have also condemned the home because of deplorable living conditions, police said. 

Police said they received a call at 8:47 a.m. from someone who saw the toddler on the roof of a house on Main Street, about 30 feet high.

The child’s father, 23-year-old David Hustek, and the child’s aunt, 20-year-old Sarah Barker, had both been sleeping and didn’t know the little boy was on the roof, police said.
