A Miami Gardens school has been cited after a 5-year-old student was found wandering the streets. 

Miami Gardens police said a good Samaritan found a 5-year-old boy walking alone near Seventh Avenue and 183rd Street. The person used a cellphone in the child's pocket to call the last phone number on it, which reached the child's mother, police said. 

The boy's mother arrived and picked up the child, police said. 

Police said the boy had wandered away from Norland Seventh Adventist Child Development Center. Staff members told police they did not report that that child was missing because the school's license was expired and they did not want to get into trouble, Miami Gardens police said.

The school was cited with several violations, according to investigators.
