Dad SEMA JAY SMITH has been charged with child cruelty. Is he a single dad? A "stay-at-home"? Or just "babysitting"? Not clear here at all.

CLOVER --
A young boy found walking alone in a vacant field near Celanese Road has led to a cruelty to children charge for the father, police say.
Sema Jay Smith, 31, of Rock Hill also has been issued a cruelty to children citation.
A witness driving on Celanese Road about 11 a.m. Thursday saw the wandering 3-year-old. The witness picked up the child and called police, according to a Rock Hill Police report. The boy was cold and dirty, and his T-shirt was covered in vomit.
The boy's father lives in an apartment complex about two-tenths of a mile away, the report states. He said he had left the window in his child's room open for better air circulation and went to fix lunch. After several minutes, he had not heard his son make a sound. When he checked on him, the window screen was pushed out, and his son was gone.
