Oh no, that poor family! He must’ve snuck out and gotten himself stuck.

I read the child was just 22 months old. It looks like he was left in the car by some member of the family. I guess we will read more about this.

How old was the toddler? Until what age is a young child classified as a toddler? Was the car not locked and the child climbed into it? I have seen a 3 1/2 year old do that and climb into her booster seat. Admittedly they were going out but it proves how easily it could happen if a car was left unlocked.

I wonder if he was left in there or if he crawled in somehow?

I am interested to read how this all came about. If it’s another of those “I forgot the baby was in the car” stories………I just dunno what I’ll do. I’ll Beverly understand how someone can forget a child. Poor baby ????
