GIFFORD — A woman was arrested after witnesses said she left her 2-year-old child in the middle of the street Tuesday night, according to the Indian River County Sheriff's Office.

The toddler was reported missing by a grandparent Wednesday morning.

Katelynn Dellilo, 21, who is homeless, said she had left the child in the care of her "pimp/boyfriend" the previous night, according to her arrest affidavit.

Deputies found the child safe in a Gifford apartment in the man's care.

He and another witness told deputies Dellilo abandoned the 2-year-old in its stroller near 38th Court and 47th Street about 8:30 p.m. It was about 50 degrees at the time.

The man said Dellilo told him, "(Expletive) you and the baby," and walked away, the affidavit said.

The man, who had been with Dellilo for two weeks, is not the child's father or caregiver, a grandparent told deputies.

Dellilo was charged Wednesday with child neglect. She remained Thursday in the Indian River County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail.
