A 5-year-old child in a remote Alaskan village carried a toddler a half-mile to a neighbor’s house in bitter sub-zero temperatures after they were left home alone, police said Friday. Both children suffered cold-weather injuries, according to an Alaska Department of Safety news release. Once the children reached another home, the residents there called authorities and troopers arrived Tuesday to check on the children in the village of 175 people. Like other interior Alaska communities during late autumn, Venetie -- located 155 miles north of Fairbanks -- regularly reaches 40 degrees below zero or lower.
