A former teacher has been charged with a misdemeanor crime after a child walked away from Richmond Montessori School and into traffic on Parham Road.

Henrico police charged the 33-year-old Richmond woman with one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor (misdemeanor) in connection to the November 2024 incident.

"This remains an open and active investigation. Given the nature of the incident and the ages of the individuals involved, additional information will be limited to protect the identities and the integrity of the investigation," a Henrico Police spokesperson said when asked for an update on the situation.

CBS 6 reporter Jon Burkett was the first to report on video filmed by a dashcam that showed a man rescuing a toddler from the roadway on Nov. 22.
