Boy in Diaper Found Crawling on Street

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio Aug. 8 - A driver on her way to work has found a toddler crawling in the middle of a busy Ohio intersection.

Rachel Downey spotted the 14-month-old boy Friday morning in the Cleveland suburb South Euclid. She hit her brakes, jumped out of her car and grabbed him.

She says he was “smack in the middle of the street.” He was dressed in just a diaper and a green one-piece outfit.
After a brief search Downey found the boy’s mother in a nearby house.

Police say the boy apparently wandered out of the house when a construction worker there left a door open. Lt. Jeff Meyers says the case is under investigation and has been referred to social workers.

I wonder what the mother in the house nearby was doing? Sleeping? Eating breakfast? Watching Jerry Springer? Once again we have another major parenting fail of a mother not keeping an eye on her child. It is a good thing someone was smart enough to pull over and alert the authorities about this. I wonder how many times this has happened before? I realize this is not a unique case as other similar stories have arisen in the past year or so. If people can’t keep a close watch on their babies (and I doubt the 14 month old was tall enough to open the front door himself), then maybe they should not be having children.
