Update
The family jus mades ah mistake -- >
A birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese did not end happily for Taizhae Carroll. She was left behind at the restaurant in Woodbridge and the look on her face in photos says it all.
Prince William County Police released photographs of the little girl in an effort to find her family. Officer Erika Hernandez says authorities got a call from the restaurant's staff around 8:40 Sunday night. The child was in the Chuck E. Cheese alone and she could only tell them her name is Taizhae.
"Everybody wants her back. Everybody called me crying, everybody," said the child's aunt, Ieesha Carroll. "It was just a big mistake."
Carroll says she found out Taizhae was not with relatives when her cousin called around 7 Monday morning. She told Carroll about news reports on a child abandoned at Chuck E. Cheese that sounded like Taizhae.
"I called my father and asked where is Taizhae 'cause she stays at my parent's house," said Carroll. "And then he said we thought she went with another member of our family. We have a big family, and there was a party and there was a lot of kids there."
