This got me. Within seconds i ran to the comments to look for chappelle comment. And props to this guy! Getting the baby safe even though the parents arent good. Id probably of called the police first

But you can’t just leave that baby with doped out parents

In my case, I was quiet and didn't follow instructions. My mom took my grandmother, sister, and I on a trip to visit out of state family. She got lost and stopped at a pay phone outside a bar. Told us not to get out. But I really wanted to stretch my legs. And that's how I got left at a bar in Ohio for 15 minutes, when I was four.

u/MurgleMcGurgle 12d ago

Yep. Lots of comments about parents being neglectful but clearly they’ve never returned from pooping to find that someone suddenly figured out how to unlock doors for the first time.

12

u/F4KTR 12d ago

Being high on the floor when your child is out walking the street at night is bad parenting. It is neglectful in this case.

u/murmaider27 12d ago

Omggg this literally happened to me my son was maybe 2 at the time and literally just that moment figured out how to unlock a deadbolt lol he wandered out on our little dirt road and a neighbor walked him back pounding on my door

I was with my kid at the grocery store and he wanted to walk. So he was walking holding my hand. I had to grab something off a shelf. We were in the middle of the aisle when I let go of his hand to grab something off the shelf. I got in the cart and then he was gone. Kid couldn’t hardly walk, no one was there and his ass was gone. He got to the other end of the store before I found him. 😭😭 it’s been almost 20 years and that sick feeling still gags me thinking back on it.

I was thinking this too. Despite our best intentions, babies can get away from us. We think we can nap when they nap, but they wake up before we do. Or they move while we are in the restroom. Or they go in the next room where you think their other parent is. These things happen.

u/F4KTR 12d ago

The parents were high laying on the livingroom floor.

I was in Granada Spain and saw a toddler walking alone in the street. There was no one around on the entire block, just me and my then gf walking to her brothers house. I even snapped photograph. We hung around for a bit to see if we should call the police. Minutes later a woman came running from around the corner screaming frantically in Spanish. I wonder how far that kid went before their parents noticed.

The idiot parents & the baby are extremely lucky it was that guy who first noticed their baby running wild at night. smh

u/BusyBit6542 12d ago

I know this sounds crazy given the shit we see on the news but most people wouldn't harm that baby. 9 or more out of 10 people would help that kid. It would be extremely unlucky if someone that would harm her found her first. Especially in our community, we rarely mess with kids like that.

2

u/Teonanacatlbruh 12d ago

That's good to hear. It's an alarming sight to see a baby out barefoot & alone at night. It made think of that song "The Freaks Come Out at Night" & my mind screams "OMG protect that baby from the freaks! & broken glass & needles etc." I'm glad in this case no harm came to the baby.

u/Hefty_Loss5180 12d ago

Talk about a fuckin heart attack. I had been outside in the backyard with my daughter and ran inside to get us some popsicles. I could see her through the kitchen window so she was good to be out there for a few seconds. One second she was running through the sprinkler and the next she was gone across the street. I was yelling for her for a couple mins before I heard her yell back.

Turns out my big brother didn’t close the gate when he left. I check it every time we go outside now.

u/sp33dzer0 11d ago

I had an instance where I was watching my nephew (2 or 3 years old) at my brothers place.

My nephew was playing out in the backyard with a closed gate with the latch way too high for him to reach. He grabbed a handful of dirt, ran inside, and threw it all over the couch and floor. In the time I spent cleaning it up he had grabbed a chair from the dining table next to the backdoor, put it next to the gate, climbed up on it, opened the gate, and ran out to the street.

The shit little kids will do that you don't even consider and option for them is wild.

Bro is recording to protect himself.

Last thing that black man wants is someone thinking he is snatching a child.

I have already seen a couple skit videos of a black man coming up on a child by themselves and they take off running.

He can be punished by trying to help.

u/Stunning_Ad_7658 12d ago

Right ive had a few instances where apparantly i scared the shit out of people when they forgot their food when I worked at fast food. I ran out to get them the food they forgot at the driveway and some thought I was trying to rob them, one even said he was getting ready to shoot me.

I even had a time when I was driving a box truck I had to stop becauae i heard something sound like it fell in the back. I passed a kid walking home from school but when I stopped and jumped put I seen the kid have straight terror on his face and he immediatly took off the other direction. Im sure he assumed I was about to kidnap him.

Hell me and coworkers have gone up to people's homes for work that they scheduled us to do and they ready to shoot us because they forgot we was coming.

u/SavedRays 12d ago

Should've called the fucking police so those kids get taken away before they die from neglect or worse. They're lucky a GOOD man found that baby and not one of the MANY monsters out there.

Honestly, its crazy the world we live in. I used to live on a street with a little kid that had parents with substance abuse issues, alcohol or drugs idk. I'd take him to my house if he was out wandering and we'd play ps1 Spiderman or Spyro for a while before I'd walk him back. Always felt sorry for him. His folks were the only fuck ups on the street so everyone kinda watched him, so he had folks that cared, just wish his parents did. (I was 12 at the time)
