Why Did The Baby Cross The Road?
Quote:A baby girl found crawling across a New Jersey road Saturday prompted officials to launch an investigation — and a photo of the shocking incident has gone viral on social media.
The motorist who spotted the child, Cory Cannon of Eatontown, told the Asbury Park Press he noticed the toddler crawling across the road in Lakewood at around 5 p.m.
"I thought it was a toy or something until she moved," he told the newspaper. "I knew I needed to get some sort of proof and my GPS was open on my phone, so I used my work vehicle to slow down traffic behind me and took the pic as I was exiting the vehicle and halting oncoming cars."
Cannon said he then watched a neighbor come out to the street and return the baby to her home.
Lakewood police told NJ.com the family had no idea the child had gotten out of the home, and that a door may have been left open by an older sibling.
The mayor of Lakewood, Ray Coles, told the Asbury Park Press that workers from the state child welfare organization have also been in contact with the baby's family.
"Anytime you have a child that’s endangered they get involved to make sure the child is safe," he told the news outlet.

RE: Why Did The Baby Cross The Road?
That's a padlin'.
Time to tar and feather the parents, participate in aggressive social media shaming, take the pound of flesh, show righteous Twitter indignation, kill the men, assault the women, take the kids as slaves salt the earth behind you.........
No, you know what: screw that.
Sometimes people just make mistakes. There is just as much chance this baby slipped out the back door and played in the backyard sandbox as it was that the baby crossed the road. You think the parents wanted this to happen? You think the elder sibling left the door open on purpose? Of course not. It's terrifying. But don't let that stop the public from getting their scalp.

To find a mother who didn't want to murder her?

That's pretty damn bad. I hope it was an older sibling that left the door open. If so, they wouldn't sit for a week and all the doors would be getting deadlocks up near adult chest height.
