Recently, two Georgia deputies were hailed as heroes when their body camera footage captured them breaking into a locked car to rescue an eight-month-old baby. The baby had been left in the vehicle accidentally for about ten minutes, and the deputies had to use a pickaxe to unlock the car. When they finally got to the baby, they comforted him and promised to get him some water. This incredible act of bravery serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of leaving children unattended in hot cars.
Upon receiving the distress call, Deputies Daniel Molina and Sgt. Bryan Clanton were swift to respond and arrived at the scene to find the mother of the baby struggling to unlock her car.
The urgency of the situation was not lost on them, as vehicular heatstroke is a leading cause of child fatalities, claiming the lives of approximately 40 children annually. With the assistance of the Fayette County 911 center, Molina and Clanton were able to successfully unlock the vehicle and rescue the child, thus preventing a potential tragedy from unfolding.
The mother cannot be held accountable for the unfortunate incident that occurred. While she had stepped out of the car with her two other children, she had accidentally left the keys inside. One of the children unknowingly locked the vehicle, causing distress to everyone involved.
However, the mother acted responsibly and swiftly by calling 911, which ultimately led to the successful rescue operation. The deputies were pleased to be of assistance and were committed to reuniting the child with their mother, showcasing their dedication to serving the community.
