When I first heard the mother's story, I said to myself that it doesn't add up... toddlers don't open doors and run out of houses by themselves.

Age 2 and 3? Unless, they were in the playpen or asleep in their crib, I didn't leave mine alone at that age even to go to the restroom. Even then, I left the doors open.

If I was going to take a bath and hubby wasn't home to watch them, I plopped them in the tub with me (You end up with a wet, messy floor, but a lot of bubble fun!)

My three year old pulled a step stool up to the front screen door, unlocked it and went 'walk-about' one day when I was doing some painting in the den. I had been going to check him every 10 minutes or so. He'd been playing in his room with blocks and stuff. I came out and called to him, and when I couldn't find him, went to the front door and saw the stool.

He'd gone to the garage, gotten out a push toy and gone for a walk down the street. I came out of the front door yelling for him, my neighbor, Liam, heard me, and we took off in opposite directions looking for him. Liam found him down the street and around the corner, just walking down the street having a little conversation with himself. Liam didn't want to scare him, so he just engaged him in conversation and said "Why don't we walk home now?". David turned right around and walked back home, still chatting away with Liam.

Scared the bejeebers outta me, I can tell you! I never realized he could manipulate the door like that. We put a second lock higher up on the door so he couldn't reach it even WITH the step stool!

I hadn't heard about this case in GA. I'm praying for those babies, though.
