Police on Tuesday said tips had led them to the child's mother, Tamika N. Wynn, 24, of Largo. Wynn told investigators that her 2-year-old daughter unfastened her car seat restraint, opened the door of her mother's moving car and fell out the evening of Nov. 13. Another driver scooped the girl up, and Wynn snatched her back, saying she would take her to a hospital, and left. After tips led police to Wynn, she told them she left because she was driving with a suspended license. Police referred her case to the State Attorney's Office for a felony count of child neglect because Wynn did not get medical treatment for her daughter. The girl had a bump on her head and was expected to be fine.
