That was my first thought, too, but my second thought was "Hey, OK. The mom fell asleep. In heartbeat, the toddler was out the door. This could happen to anyone."

That's actually true. Moms do doze off, and baby can be wobbling energetically toward the tall grass quick as a baa-baa black sheep.

Glad it had a happy ending!

“Hey, OK. The mom fell asleep. In heartbeat, the toddler was out the door. This could happen to anyone.”

I used to sleepwalk as a child. There were a few times my mother had to run outside in the middle of the night to lead me back home. The only thing that alerted her to me heading down the road was the noise of the door closing and waking her up.
