Tense few minutes there until the toddler was scooped up and hustled out to safety. The follow-up about the parents and their whereabouts will be sad and interesting I'm sure.
Good video---showing our uniformed services doing their best work!

More on the story...the father claims he left the 3 year old with his 17 year old step brother and left to get food. According to the father...the 17 year old left to see his biological father...leaving the 3 year old alone. My skepticism is kicking in.

Mine too---and I hate being that cynical but knowing crap happens in ways we never anticipate and in an instant I guess anything is possible. At best the child protective services should at least take a peak at this incident. Needless to say this stepson NEVER again is left alone or in charge of the siblings in that household.
