In our city today, children under the age of 6 were resued from a burning car by a teen girl passing by!!

The fire started in a parked car in a parking lot at the Medical Center dd and I were at for an appt. DD and I come out of the clinic after our appt, and there were a burnout shell of a car not too far from where our car was parked.

Lots of commotion and emergency crews around....found out that a father had left his three youngsters in the car while he was in the clinic for an appt.

The fire is under investigation. The gal is a true hero...she had to deal with flames, smoke, and broken glass to get those kids out.
One child was an infant strapped in a car seat.

Why, why, why do people leave their kids in cars unattended?

Thank goodness they are all okay! What a wonderful and heroic thing for the teen to do! I just cannot understand it when I hear of parents leaving kids alone in cars :(

Some people are so lax, Herc. And so often young children pay the price. Thankfully someone was there to help.

I am in TEARS reading your post. A 2 yr old was left in a car in Philly today, and died. It was about 96 degrees here today. It's like leaving a child in an oven!!!!!
I am so glad you posted this, as it restores some hope for humanity.....
What an angel this teenage girl is!

Oh, the short-sightedness of some parents. Risking their children's lives by leaving them in a car. Horrendous. Yes, I think that teen-age girl must have been an angel. Good for her bravery. Pretty astounding.

Thank goodness they had a guardian angel! I'm so glad to hear that the teenager was able to save them. What was the father thinking?!!!!

Yes, these children did have a guardian angel watching over them today!

The car was a small one and parked in the furthest space away from the bldg. in the corner tucked in an area with overgrown bushes..not easily seen from the nearby st.

I will post an update tomorrow aft.

BRWDenise, so sorry to hear about the baby in Philly today. Unbelievable!

Even more incredible, is that it was parked as if to be hidden!
