#NBCNews #StolenCar #Family
Heartcolded enough to steal a family’s car.
Not so cold to kidnap the baby.
If the guy would have the same emphaty, he shouldnt have taken the car neither.
From use of communication technology including satellites I state with absolute certainty that former US President Donald Trump is serving a jail sentence at a prison complex located in California where he is forced to remain at all times with the exception of official leave time authorised by the prison.
Big aurprise
Moral do the story…. Don’t be lazy…. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Lucky it ended this way..
I wouldn’t say he returned the child. He abandoned the child in an industrial area. Thankfully a good person found him.
Why is he hugging the police 🤣 He should be hugging the man who found him instead 🤣
She need to be charged, leaving a baby in the car🙄
Thank god that child is alright! I can’t say the same for the thief !
Maybe dont leave your baby in the car alone…
The news should be about arresting the mother for child endangerment instead
Awwww, he returned the baby, maybe the Democrats will reward him as a hero.
Florida you are such a Florida.
Mom’s fault 100%.
As a father of a two years old myself, I cant even begin to imagine what those parents went through for those couple of hours, and also the baby, thank god he is ok and back to his parents
شكرا يا الله ❤ الحمد لله انه رجع ل اهله شكرا شكرا يا رب
Briefly…3 bongs later😂
Never, ever leave a child unattended in a car!! Why would they do that??
🥺😢😭so sorry for baby and parents😠😡😤so angry for whom stole the vehicle
What an absolute piece of crap. He literally left the child on the road to fend for himself. Lucky somebody was there or the child could have easily been run over.
Always the poor mommie
Not surprised the suspect looks like a Jamal
Plain and simple bad mother. Never ever leave children alone unsupervised. And she left the keys.
Parents are really lucky. They made a risky decision.
A tragedy averted, but why would you leave a helpless child alone and with the key inside the car?
The level of stupidity by the parents is painful. There’s evil in life; life can be unjust and unfair, but don’t go out of your way and ask for it. YOU DON’T LEAVE YOUR CAR RUNNING UNATTENDED, worst WITH YOUR CHILD INSIDE!!! Not even for one second. If you don’t get this, I bet you have problems understanding life, and although you can’t see it or notice, others will, and some will suffer because of that.
Decent theif? If he gonna steal he should check the back seat. Just sayn
.poor form buddy
Then, you should have gone to a fire station not an industrial center
This is why you dont leave a kid in a car, even when you can see the car. Jesus.
Well done to officers who kept child oblivious to the seriousness of situation
Never ever ever leave your children alone in a car even in your home garage with the garage door closed until they are mature (as a parent you know when they are) for some it comes at 13 or others at 16 etc etc
The reason I say this is because one of the most terrifying thing I ever heard was on Oprah show long long time ago before I was a mother. A mother had left her 8 year old daughter and 12 year old son in the car in the parking lot of a building to go to a board meeting for 30 minutes and the boy started playing with the gears and since the car was on a slope, it started rolling, the terrified boy jumped out of the car, got in front the car trying to stop the car and got crushed between the fence and the car. Please don’t leave them in the car even for a few minutes.
Just for all the non-parents. You need to leave the kid somewhere when loading or unloading the car.
I know this didn’t happen in this case, but it happens everywhere.
The only way you don’t need to do it is when the other parent is helping too.
Mother’s usually have to multitask. That is unfortunately the way it is.
I had baby on one hip and groceries in another. Never left my child in the car for one moment even by myself.
@Lauren Campbell I worked full time and therefore had to go grocery shopping on the weekend for the entire week. Luckily I had a garage attached to the house. Not everyone lives in such luxury. Unfortunately if you live in a bad area your child can be stolen when a mother turns her back.
And let’s not forget it is always the mother that does the multitasking. And always the mother if she doesn’t do everything perfect.
@Sabine you’re right about that! Mom has to do it all, including be vigilant. It’s not always so easy but I rather them steal the groceries/ car/ everything else but my baby 😭
@Sabine anyone can be a caretaker…
“What’s important has been found.” 😭
Good the child was not hurt and is safe and alive. Parents DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD ALONE IN A CAR PLEASE.
omg I’m so glad that baby is safe ❤
Dont leave your kid inside a car alone …..
.and with a key
I hope the thief is caught and charged with attempted murder for abandoning the kid.
Thats what happens when you leave children alone in a car with the car running.
White people… figures
Yes,thank GOD child is safe,I pray District attorney doesn’t charge parents with neglect he or she definitely could,I pray that’s the end of it,and parents never never leave child in car with keys in it ! Thank GOD
Why did it take both of them to go inside to check on a Love one
Should charge her with child endangerment for leaving a child in the car. A lot of children dies because of heat stroke after being left in the car.
American babies being left unattendant in vehicles is on the rise
Remember: babies are not an effective anti-theft device
What’s important is, the thief got their crack money.
Frightening
I hope they learned not to be lazy and take the key out of the ignition and never leave your kid in the car by themselves ever again! 🤦♂️
Um… those parents are L U C K Y!
If those parents were BIPOC, child services would have been called, parents detained even though the incident was tragic enough.
It really goes to show what’s important in life! ❤
They completely forgot about the car too😊
Great to see your son’s ok. God bless you all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
Florida AGAIN. Tell me why Florida is such a great state and clearly it is not.
YEAH WHY IS YOUR CAR ON AND THE CHILD LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
PARENTS WERE NOT SMART IN THIS CASE.
THIS IS LIKE NOT LOCKING YOUR HOUSE DOORS!
Thank God that baby is safe. ❤❤❤
The hero will be a Packer fan. Even in the off-season we still doing things better than the Bears.
Who’s the bigger piece of crap? The person stealing a car or the parents leaving their infant in a car alone?
Holy smokes how scary.
Is no one gonna mention why they left a two year in a running car in Florida?
I will atleast give that thief the slightest respect for not doin something else with the baby..atleast he knew he’d be found..from the pare ts side it was an upside down world🎉
What’s important has been found 🎉🙌🏼🎊
This is why you dont lesve your child alone in a car..
YOU LEFT YOUR TODDLER IN THE CAR? WITH 90°?
Angels really do walk among us! What an awesome ending to the story 🙏
Just stop having black kids please
It only take a second for disaster can happen.
Thank God he had a heart and placed that baby gently on the ground, he was a good kid for that atleast
Hope that dude likes being charged with kidnapping as well as grand theft auto.
Was the car jacket asian. No Indian. No no. The criminal was white right.
These white supremacists are out of control stealing cars and shoplifting
Crazy mom
As a parent of two kids I really don’t understand how a parent can leave a child alone in a car even for a second.
I am not a parent but I couldn’t leave my car running with the keys in it ever. About 5 years ago I worked over nights at a gas station. People would do it all the time……cars were stolen on avg 3 times a year from that store and that was in an upper class neighborhood. People would get mad at me for telling them that’s a bad idea. One time a 14 yo was asleep in the back seat when a mentally disturbed man took the car. She had to jump out window while the guy was speeding away.
IT WASN’T A SECOND BUT EITHER 20 OR 30 MINS THE REPORTER SAID
Assuming that the baby was in a car seat it shouldn’t be a problem to take your kid out with car seat and let it rest inside the house or next to you. Is that so hard!!
I don’t have a child, but I can’t imagine anything more terrifying than your baby being abducted.
So thankful they were reunited!
I pray I never experience anything akin to what these parents experienced.
Don’t leave babies in the car alone!
What a surprise, the car thief is a garbage human being. I bet some libs will try to find a way to excuse the abominable behavior🙄
Living a Vulnerable child just like that is another level of madness,thank God someone saw him ,before something bad happened.
Parents need to stop being lazy. Yeah it’s a hassle for quick stops but the alternative to taking your kid with you is having your kid STOLEN.
I’m glad this has a happy ending, but why did they leave the child in the vehicle alone, with it unlocked? My mama anxiety could never risk it! I live in an area where car theft is common, but even if I didn’t, I’d at least use my spare key to lock the car with it running so it wouldn’t be easy for the taking. I don’t even leave it unlocked and running while empty.
and to think this ordeal couldve been avoided if they didnt have that kid.
Thank God. 🙏🙏🙏
Never leave your child for a second. Car- jackers Do Not care
Very Lucky. Thank be to God and The Good Samaritan.🙏
Why is most everyone thanking god? Never hear any of you criticize god for all the children in the world who are murdered, maimed, or abused.
Religious people are such hypocrites.
Praise God 🙏🏿
Both parents left the car at the same time with the baby inside , windows down , car running and keys inside 🤔 I don’t know guys… this seems a little fishy to me.
Even most criminals wouldn’t harm a child. Dude probably didn’t notice the kid until later, especially if he was sleeping. Glad this had a happy ending!
There was the case of the mother unloading her shopping from the car whilst the child was still strapped in the babyseat. Whilst she was inside the house, the car caught on fire and the child burned to death in front of her eyes. Sad.
Where were the parents when the baby was sleeping inside the car alone for God sake? It’s sad to see that humans we never learned a lesson from history to what happened to other parents in past, Do We? Anyway thanks God that little Angel baby boy is safe and sound and reunited his parents safely.
Why would someone leave a 2 year old in a vehicle?
Why wouldn’t they leave a 2 year old alone though 🤔
Beautiful!! Thank you to all that helped!! So happy for the parents and baby!
Stop leaving your kids in cars, people.
You never leave yer kid in the car! Idiots!
Who leaves a 2 year old in the car by themselves without the parents being in eyeshot of it??
These melanitated are getting out of hand
Stealing a car is one thing but this theif knows hurting a kid is a death sentence.
At least the thief wasn’t an animal.
It’s holly hill what a surprise
The parents should be charged to show them a lesson. You don’t leave your child in the car, ever. And this is why. Man who stopped and looked after the boy is an absolute gem.
Thank the criminal for maybe having a heart and just leaving the kid in a place with lots of people instead of just talking him to
Florida ? I don’t believe it.
Last thing he wants is a kid 😂😂😂
