Heart-stopping moment child is caught wandering busy street
Updated | By Damon Beard
The only question that comes to mind while watching this video is: 'Where were the child's parents?!'
As a parent, have you ever taken your eyes off your child for a single second, only to suddenly see they've wandered off? Hopefully, nothing bad happened to them?

In this day and age though, parents have to be extra vigilant. Yes, things sometimes happen that are beyond our control, but my blood boils when I see a video like this where the child's parents are clearly just negligent.
This heart-stopping video shows a little boy, probably no more than two years of age, rescued as he strolls across a busy intersection. It's a terrifying thing to watch as cars thunder past him. According to a witness, the child's parents were nowhere to be seen.
Although I personally am not a parent, I just kept thinking where the parents were while this little one wandered off?
It was only later that the driver who filmed the terrifying near-miss from her car said the boy was returned safely to his parents in a pub next to the road. Phew!
