911 audio recording released after 5-year-old girl left alone at Chuck E. Cheese in Pearland

PEARLAND, TX

Operator: "911 can I help you?"
Caller: "Yes I think I left my child at Chuck E Cheese last night. She's 5."
Operator: OK, can you contact Brazoria County Sheriff's Department ma'am?"

That short 911 call happened just after the mother realized she had left her 5-year-old daughter at Chuck E Cheese the previous night.

The mother has 10 children in all and forgot the birthday girl at the restaurant. Investigators say the mom claims she only realized the girl wasn't home when she woke up to get the kids ready for school. She then called 911.

The child has since been handed back over to her mother. So far, no charges have been filed in the case.
