Toddler Found On Ansonia Roof, Family Members Charged: PD

ANSONIA, CT — Two people were arrested after a two-year-old boy was found on top of a house roof Wednesday morning, according to police.

The toddler was found on the roof of 681 Main St. about 30 feet above the ground, police said. Officer Christopher Kelley talked to the child and convinced him not to move while Sgt. Christopher Flynn and Officer Peter Lovermi III forced entry into the residence to get access to the roof.

The child's father David Hustek, 23, and the child's aunt Sarah Barker, 20, were found inside the house and had been sleeping, police said.

An eyewitness shared video with WFSB of the child on the roof.

Conditions at the house were deplorable and the building was condemned by city officials, police said. The child was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but didn't appear to be injured.

Hustek and Barker were both charged with risk of injury to a minor and first-degree reckless endangerment. They were both held in lieu of $10,000 bail each.
