Panicked parents in Texas have been caught on camera rescuing their baby from inside their locked car during severe heat.
On July 19, in an H-E-B parking lot at 1213 S. Commerce Street in Harlingen, South Texas, at around 10:40 a.m., a frantic father smashed the windshield of his own car with a tire iron to rescue his baby, who had accidentally been locked inside the vehicle with the keys. The parents called 911, and EMS crews arrived within minutes.
“I do not know anyone in the video but they all looked worried,” Ms. Pizano told The Epoch Times. “When I realized there might be a baby in there, my heart sunk.”
According to Ms. Pizano, it took three to four minutes to get the baby out of the vehicle and the baby was seen crying.
“I was nervous and, at the end, relieved that the baby was okay,” she said.
As for why the parents retrieved the infant through the windshield, Ms. Pizano explained on social media that the mom had “tried to open the door but it wasn’t opening, that’s why she put the baby thru the window.”
“When you have a child, particularly a child in a vehicle like that, 10 minutes is too long,” Mr. Perez said, “so you really want to make sure that the baby is doing well, and it’s best to have observations on the child just to make sure that they’re compensating properly for the stress that they just went through.”
