"That's a mother's worst fear, not knowing where your kid is," said Kelsey Craig, the child's mother.
The Fairfield Police Department confirmed to CBS13 that it is investigating to see if a crime occurred.
Craig said that this happened on her daughter's first day at the program and she will not be returning.
"She told me that my child got out. My immediate follow-up was, did you realize she was missing or did someone return her? And it was the latter," Craig said.
The mother does not know how her daughter got out of the locked classroom. She said her 2-year-old was found down the hallway and in the community center lobby.
It is not known how long Scarlett was roaming. For a mother, the mind jumps to the unthinkable.
Scarlett was just steps from the automatic front door, leading to the parking lot. At that time, Craig said, a front desk worker at the community center stepped in.
She is demanding accountability from the City of Fairfield. A spokesperson provided this statement in response to CBS13:
Craig hopes to hear from the city soon, wanting an update on what has changed.
Craig also says she tried to obtain video surveillance from the lobby to see how long her 2-year-old child was unaccounted for but was told it is part of the investigation and could not be released.
