A mom in Philadelphia allegedly abandoned her disabled son in a wooded area of a local park, then leaves town to visit her boyfriend, according to authorities.

The New York Daily News reports;

A passerby in Cobbs Creek Park discovered the 21-year-old man, a nonverbal quadriplegic who also has cerebral palsy, lying near an empty wheelchair with a Bible on his chest on Friday night after he was abandoned for five days without any provisions, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

The unidentified alleged victim is receiving treatment for a cut on his back, dehydration, malnutrition and exposure at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and is in stable condition following the 9 p.m. rescue, WCAU-TV reported.

Authorities announced on Saturday that they’ve issued a warrant for the arrest of the victim’s mother, Nyia Parler, 41, according to the TV station. Parler is accused of leaving her son on a pile of leaves in the park on Monday morning before going to see her boyfriend in Maryland, according to the Inquirer.

Police believe she’s still in Maryland, and they’re hoping to collar her on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, neglect of a care of a dependent person, unlawful restraint, kidnapping and false imprisonment, the TV station reported.

Authorities contacted Parler after her son didn’t attend school on Monday morning and she allegedly fibbed to family members and cops that he had come with her to Maryland, according to the TV station.

“This kid’s obviously a fighter,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker told the Inquirer. “It’s just unbelievable how we found him out there. . . . It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see another human, especially a mother, can treat someone like that.”
