A good man in many ways
Definitely a good man. How in the world did that kid get out on the highway?
Yes indeed. I’d trade all the traitors in this country for more like him.
He was playing on a beeber and just wandered out into traffic, like any normal kid would. Maybe it was a game of Pokemon GO.
The world has gone mad.
Mad indeed. Why was he out at NIGHT? His parents need to be put on some kind of child abuse watch list.
When I was a young fireman we were driving back from a call and came up on an infant in diapers crawling in the street, no one else around. We stopped, scooped him up and started a door to door.
Mom was 2 houses down and never saw him go out the door. He could barely reach the handle.
Evidence:
Try this instead:
Little boys are always escaping in the middle of the night. Their parents think the boy is sleeping, and go to bed themselves. Then he wakes up and decides to go for a walk.
Reminds me of the Dave Chapelle of skit about the crack baby.
Scary! In 1975 or so, my mom and I found a baby in diapers crawling across a semi busy residential street in Littleton, CO. We thought we were seeing things. We found a nearby house with the door open and the mom sound asleep on the couch. I was only a kid but, in hindsight, we should have taken the poor kid to the local police.
People should have extra locks on doors with toddlers, or an alarm system. Years ago, at Christmastime, a little child in Chicago area got up predawn, and went out on the porch to look for Santa. The door locked behind her, and she froze to death. She was three or four.

Thank God for the real dads.
I have a three year old that has learned to defeat pretty much all of the childproof barriers I've installed to the point where our baby gates are lashed tight with bungee cords.
And, yes, she did escape the house once and went running down the street of our cul-de-sac.
Little kids are fast! And it only takes a moment of inattentiveness (especially with three other kids in the house) and they've escaped.
AMEN!!!! What a man!!!
My older brother was brought back by firemen or police officers many times as a toddler. Small town so they knew who he was and where we lived.
They were funny stories until my middle child was born. That girl has very long fingers and she was strong and dexterous way beyond her physical age. She could unbuckle her car seat before she was two, remove any design of safety latch and climb like a monkey.
I once found her and her younger sister butt naked riding their trikes around the block about 6:30 am and the gate latch was still on! Turns out she removed it to get out and put it back on so she wouldn’t get in trouble for it.
She gave me so many grey hairs. And she still loves to travel.
why?
She wasn’t very contrite, shocked, or thankful.
After I got my two little ones down for a nap, I dozed off for a quick one myself. I woke and found a trail of clothes leading to open front door. My 3 year old was across the street, naked, doing the rain dance in the neighbors water sprinkler.
It happens. Lol.
my second crawled away at a high end store. I thought she was behind me, I kept seeing her red sun hat in my peripheral vision, turned out to be something else red.
I started looking for her and it turned out that she crawled past 10 adults in line for check out and out the open wide doors into the parking lot. Not one adult said a peep. She was in the middle of the lot.
I walked back in with her and very slowly looked at each of the adults until they all dropped their eyes or left in embarrassment.
Evil comes in many forms.
