OCALA, F.L.--Police say a woman and her sister left a one-year-old behind during a botched robbery at a Florida Walmart. 

Investigators say sisters Allison and Laura Niemeyer ran after a security guard confronted them for stealing clothes from the store. 

The women ran from the scene but they left Allison's son behind.  The child was put in state custody. 

Police arrested the women a few days later outside a local dance club.  Both women have been charged with felony child neglect and theft.
