A man called police Tuesday at 4:06 p.m. to report that he saw a small child left in a car in the Gloucester Crossing parking lot.
The license plate the caller provided came back to a Forest Street residence, and police spoke to a woman who lives at the residence. She said, however, she left her son in the car for a few minutes when she ran into a store.
She said a man she didn’t know came up and confronted her about leaving her son in the car, and words were exchanged. But she said her son had an ear infection and she didn’t want him out in the rain.
Police told her that they would file a form with the Department of Children and Families. The woman was cooperative, police said.

No charges were filed, police said.
