Authorities said that Paul Casson, 28, did not want to stick around for a nurse’s signature last New Year’s Eve after dropping the five-year-old boy, who was in a car accident, off at the hospital, so he forged a nurse’s signature and left the child there.

EMT workers are required to fill out Patient Care Reports and get them signed by a designated nurse before leaving the hospital.

Fortunately, for Casson, the boy did not have life threatening injuries.

If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.
