I was adopted by a really young police officer when I was 2 years old, he was 21 and had been on the force for a week, my dad beat my mother to death and I remember running to the lady across the street crying, so she called the police and Officer McNamara showed up and got in a fight with the monster, luckily he managed to arrest him before other cops came. Long story short, after they took my dad to jail I was placed in a foster care for 2 weeks, when officer McNamara came to visit and check up on me and decided he wanted to adopt me and so he did. He is the best dad I've ever had and I love him very much, he's my hero. I love you dad.
@@yarra6131 How dare you, accuse me of that after the truma I went through as a kid. My dad didn't have to adopt me, he sacrificed for my well being. Ans cold hearted people like you assume it's a made up story
@@yarra6131 I don’t see your problem with a “made up story to get likes” even if it is fake, likes on RU-vid don’t describe anything in reality. Maybe the person who lied can hurt themselves a little bit but it has nothing to do with you. If this person is saying the truth, which I can assume they are, your hurting them even more by claiming that what they experienced is fake and made up.
It sounds like they made her get help first, which is less about luck & more about putting in the hard work of getting better. But yes, it's always best for kids to stay with their families if possible. 👍
My bf and I once met a small child crying in the mall that he had lost sight of his parents. Both of us were not even 20 years old and we waited with the little guy, held onto him, till his parents found us. I was touched to see how good my bf was with him. Guys who are compassionate towards children are keepers.
Something similar happened to me when I was in college and worked in a mall. I twice found missing children. Well really, they found me as I worked the jewelry counter near the door. One day a little boy was just standing there looking at me. I said hi and he started crying. He told me he lost his mom. So I called mall security and waited with him. His mom came running in with security. Apparently, they were looking for him. They had closed every door in the mall in case someone had him so they couldn't escape. The same thing happened a few months later with a little girl. Her mom had fled the mall when she realized security was following her because she had stolen a bunch of stuff. The police came and took the little girl away. She cried so much. I felt terrible for her.
My 2 years old grandson is capable of opening doors now, they can disappear in the wink of an eye, really incredible. When I visit and look after my grandchildren once a week, I always keep an eye on him and his 4.5 year old brother. I forget I even exist practically. It's a hell of a job and responsibility 🥵😅
I hate that they're discouraged from loving on the child, i feel like children in that situation need that warmth and comfort from a hero, more than ever. Glad the officer played that role
@@onetruthmediacompany todays kids are more like milksops and they are being pampering too much, so often babies and toddler "have to" scream and cry even when it's not necessary, so sadly no. Most people these days would actually yeet that child.
I live where blackberries grow wild I can't say enough border letter words about dealing with them they grab and hold on like cat's claws and the tips break off sometimes it takes over a week to get them out after they fester up That's the only way and the body it ejects them
They way that little baby's head bobbed with such weakness and exhaustion when he was picked up just broke me...Thank God he was found and thank you to that wonderful woman taking her dog to search for him
imagine you're lying in bramble bushes with no idea how you got there, nor how to get out. And suddenly you're swept up in two big strong, arms that are there to rescue you. Damn right he clung to that! (I'm Crying NOW too.)
@@777VOID-1 Well i mean if an officer is like 50m away and available within a minute i would call him too. He has more experience in checking out a body, without destroying evidence. I mean if it was a crime scene, at least make sure you can get the bad guy at the end.
@@godmode8687 fr they shouldn't touch the kid especially if they found them lying motionless , you might leave a finger print and disturb the scene even more if he were really dead
You are right, The policeman was an afterthought. But I was wondering why she didn't check him immediately, or maybe she did, but they didn't know if he was alive. I would at least have to make a close visual assessment before leaving him to get the cop.
@@melindasmale4303 Your comment compelled me to go back and watch the video again and you are right, of course. The dog is an absolute hero in this story, though I do not discount the great contributions made by any humans. I was so overwhelmed by the lost boy that I didn't even realize the dog was instrumental to saving that little boy. Thank you for the help.
Once again, dogs prove just how lost we'd be without them. We had a similar case just a couple years ago. A 4-year old went missing, over 250 people searching couldn't find her. They brought in 1 dog, and the dog found the child.
You got the dog for all the wrong reasons, I hope your not going to be training that dog too attack youself? Just be careful, and don't expect your dog to just protect you, as you may well be let down.
We had a really sweet dog for 14 years (she got hit by a car), but when I was. about 4 years old (1958) I got lost somewhere out in a small patch of woods. My parents started looking, and the neighbors also started to help, when my much older sister realized that Suzzie Dog was also missing. She called her and instead of 1or 2 barks and Suzzie running to her, Suzzie started barking several times. When she stopped barking my sister called her again, more barking but Suzzie wasn't getting any closer. My sister realized that Suzzie was with me and ran toward the barking, Our dad, not wanting 2 lost children quickly followed her. And she kept calling Suzzie whenever Suzzie stopped barking, and sure enough there we were! I was sitting by Suzzie, and she was wagging her whole body (the only really clear memory I have of the whole thing.). My dad was torn between hugging me and yelling for joy, and "applying a pound of cure to the seat of learning"!
I know a little girl who was killed after stray dogs attacked her. We won't be lost without them, but we definitely will benefit from using their skills.
I got lost during holiday shopping when I was very young. I remember a Sears, but no other stores. Any way, a police officer found me, kept me with him I remember him to this day and I'm 71 now. He just talked to me, told me a story and got me talking to him. I remember being scared, but he told me not to worry, that my parents had gotten lost and we'd find them. The officer found my "lost parents" and to this day, I remember him and think about him at every holiday shopping.
Something like this happened to me. I found a three year old on the steps to my apartment. She latched on to me and would not let me hand her off to anyone else. We (neighbor who does daycare and I) called 911 and the police started knocking on doors. I held that baby for over five hours. She fell asleep part way through the ordeal and at that point I guess I could have passed her off, but I was ready to keep her if we couldn't find her parents. I was making mental lists of what I needed to get to care for her. When they found the parents....they didn't even know she was missing. Parents were asleep in a back bedroom. "When we take naps, her brothers watch her." Most surprising thing to me was, at my age of 68, I was able to hold her for that long without getting tired. No fatigue, no sore muscles, no aches the next day. I don't understand how that happened.
Actually no, it was probably an adrenaline rush or something where your brain refused to let you know that your body is tired because If you knew you were tired your going to hand that child over, I take it that's the first time that happened you found a child on your doorstep? Then it's probably an adrenaline rush.
Parental and protectiveness washed over you. That gives you alot of strength and endurance for most likely anything. You would have made a great godparent. So cute!
Yeah more than likely my friends 2 almost 3 year old just about waltzed out the front door while I was visiting and giving Christmas presents, apparently she was wanting to go visit her great grandma 😂
@@Apostolic401 You have never been around children in your life?
3 года назад
@@DeuPKay I have 6, I've never not known where any of them are. If you think this is normal you have a serious problem and should not be around children ever.
I fond a toddler once in the UK walking near a busy road. He was about 18 months old. Everyone else ignored him. I am a mother. I couldn't do that. I took him across the road to the police (worried I would be told I was child stealing). He had escaped out of the front door. It is not always the parents' fault. Some of these toddlers are very clever at escaping.
No joke. And the stronger-willed they are, the more likely it seems to be that they wander off. They have no desire to stick close to their parents. There's a big world to explore, and by heaven, they're gonna explore. 😅 I oughta know. I am one of those types. 😁
2 year old grandaughter did that just last week. I was glad to have seen her stepped out of the gate and went after her but her short chubby legs were really fast while I was limping due to arthritis. I had no hope of catching up with her but luckily a rider came by and stopped the little rascal! 🙂
@@Clowyclouddz they did give the doggo credit tho doggo was shown in the video, mentioned on multiple occasions what should they do, have an interview with the doggo?
Uh...the dog only did what humans trained her to do. And the dog certainly didn't pick the child up from the bushes. The dog got the credit she was due in this video. 99% of the credit goes to the officers, then the paramedics/doctors who helped the toddler afterwards. I'm an avid animal lover but let's keep it 💯. People are the heroes here.
My son at age 3 had bad eyesight but we didn’t know it. He woke up and walked out of his room and looked in my bedroom and later told me he didn’t see me. I was asleep and I didn’t know he did that. He went downstairs and opened the front door and looked outside for me but thank God he didn’t go outside to hunt for me more, he stayed in the house. He then went on the stairs and was crying because he thought somebody took his mommy and I heard him crying, I woke up and found him sobbing on the stairs, I picked him up and comforted him, found the front door open and he told me what he did. We installed a high up safety lock so he couldn’t open the door and go out by himself. We got his eyes tested and found out he needed glasses very badly. I thanked God that he was safe.
How could he open the front door?!??!! Don't you have child safety locks or alarm systems? This is what I mean. That's irresponsible parenting. Your young child should not be able to exit your home without your awareness.
@@UnfazedPhoenix Well... at the same time, we will, and never know what each and every child is capable of doing. I understand, there should be some sense of security.
@@UnfazedPhoenix I agree, I have a 2 year old... I turned to my husband and told him about this story and he said: "how the hell is that even possible?" .... No way on earth I would lose my child while sleeping... No way she would be able to get out like that.
@@UnfazedPhoenix it was literally at night. im pretty sure you wouldnt expect your child to wake up, and go right out out the door. she couldnt have known he had bad eye sight and couldnt see her. they were ALSEEP, some people are heavy sleepers, and many of them are parents. please dont assume ppl are bad parents without even knowing what goes on in their life.
@@UnfazedPhoenix You'd think this person already knows from that experience. theres legit no point in attacking them now. they didn't even know how bad their child's eyesight was and if the kid wanted their mom they would go in her room to get her. piss off.
@@catsuperior I mean even if the chances are very slim, dog attacks do happen and maybe, I'm not sure this is just a theorie, they suffered trauma from a dog attack so now they're afraid of them, again I don't know
I missed my mother when she went to work, and so i put on my coat, and my brother's rubber boots and headed off into town trying to look for her. Needless to say a cab company nearby found me walking around on my own, (I was about 3) And took me in. They let me watch TV and eat jelly beans, and called the police. My step father at the time called my mother to ask her if she had taken me to work with her (She works at a old age home, and still does) and told him no. He said he checked inside, outside, and around the area and i wasn't there. When she rushed home, the police had just gotten there with me, and the first thing I said to her when she was crying was "Mommy your makeup is falling down."
Everyone is always so quick to judge and cast out people. Let’s just look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives. Which is the fact that the boy was found, alive.
@@MS-db4dl there are people commenting that the mother was bad/neglectful/should be locked up...take your pick. That if the boy was black etc. There were plenty of negative comments. Which is why I posted what I did. I wouldn't have if it's not what I saw. But I'm glad you could question it. Kudos
@@doir160 i suggest you to check out the definition of *"Copy"* , because according to your profile name you are probably not a native speaker, i used the same *IDEA* and just mixed it with another meme template so obviously this comment is not a *Copied or Stolen* comment, secondly an element of similarity would make both comments funnier for readers. Although there is no copyright for people's comment I'm still saying it's totally not a copied one. if you want i can also write that guy's comment here for comparing it ;)
Omg, that child was in a damn blackberry bush, that must've been so painful! That poor child...😭 (Blackberry bushes are covered in thorns by the way, to anyone who didn't know.)
I cleaned up a blackberry bush next to my shed the other day & I had thick leather gloves on & protective clothing & still I ended up looking like I'd gone 10 rounds of a wrestling match with Freddy Krueger afterwards.That little boy would have been scratched up something terrible.
I’m so glad he was found alive and doing ok. Things like this is exactly why adding an additional lock outside of the reach of a small child is very important. They are capable of unlocking and opening doors at that age.
They sure are, and parents often don't expect that. My neighbours had one "easy" child who took long naps. Their next child was an escape artist when he was still in nappies. They learn so fast, though people still think of them as "the baby"!
I've got a child with autism and this, right here. I also have an indoor alarm that tells me what door is opened very loudly throughout the house. Please stay aware, babies don't understand why they can't go outside alone, they just love the park. And never think that can't happen to you. Be safe! ❤
Between 40 & 43 years ago, our twin boys proved your point when she had me put "child-proof" latches on the lower kitchen cabinets. The two of them were expert openers! ...🤣
@@oliviasabella9034 I'm a father, so I know exactly what that must be like. It's every parents worst nightmare. The fear of losing one of your children is probably the number one thing most parents lose sleep over.
When my son was 3 he took off while I was in the bathroom. We had just came in from outside and there had been a lot of rain recently and the creek nearby was flooded and I explained to him how dangerous it was. When I came out of the bathroom and couldn't find him, I was really scared. I looked towards the creek and saw nothing as i turned too go to the office of the apartment complex where I lived to use the phone for help I spied him. About 2 blocks away is a park. He had on a red shirt and blue sweat pants and bright red hair. He had decided to go play in the park. Thank god the merry go round was where it was. I ran over and and grabbed him and told him to never go anywhere without me again.
She was stoned ! She's another idiot that needs her tubes tied ! When getting high is more important than your child yeah I've lived through that one it's a miserable existence
it was more than that, the boy was too weak to be only 6 hours, on the news says at least 11 hours, even tho the poor baby was way to weak to be only this hours, I think the mother neglect this there.
About a year ago my daughter wandered out of the house while I was asleep. I work the opening shift at a coffee shop so we were both usually asleep by 8 pm. Around 9:30pm I woke up to a police officer knocking on the open front door, holding my baby's hand. A neighbor had seen my daughter alone outside in her pajamas and called the police. I still have no idea who it was but I am so grateful to them. That was the scariest moment of my life, thinking about what could have happened to her. We didn't live in the best part of town, the front door opened straight to the sidewalk. She could have been taken, or hit by a car, or wandered down to the river at the end of our street. I'm so lucky that some kind stranger saw her and that we lived so close to the police station that they could send someone immediately. The next day we added an additional lock to the door that she couldn't reach so it wouldn't happen again.
@@exposingliars9824 same I can't tell you how many time I woke up in my yard or walking down the side walk. The last time I woke up in the yard I was 20 and pregnant, in my dream I could see a baby alone outside . apparently I was going to get this baby lol . That was the last time I slept walked . Weird!
My niece was a very advanced sleep walker. She dragged chairs to get to the tall locks until eventually they installed a deadbolt that needed a key on each side.
@@GodzillaofTokyo Oml that’s horrifying! My cousin is a sleepwalker so my uncle installed a heavy iron gate that locked from the top so he wouldn’t sleepwalk to the street in the middle of the night!
Before my child was even old enough to open doors we child proofed them with extra locks. I think it’s extremely irresponsible to wait for something like this to happen to think about child proofing something as dangerous as a door leading to outside. You’re lucky she didn’t get killed
@The Green One didn’t mean it in a bad way, it’s just that it is a literal dog- I still respect them. It’s annoying that people are trying paint like the police didn’t do anything because “ACAP”. Not saying she’s trying to do that tho
Nothing can bring them back, and changes needs to be made. But what about the innocent police officers who don't return home to their families at the end of their watch? Why do we forget those who give their lives in the service of others?
Mark Krutell they already knew their life might be at risk when they decided on becoming cops, and yes I have family in law enforcement and military. Like my father says you’re not going in blind.
thats so scary for the little boy.. imagine being so small and innocent that you'll cling to anyone.. so desperate for someone to help you. im so glad the boy was in the correct hands. very wholesome.
Fortunately, a child that young won't remember the incident when he's an adult. Doctors have studied memory retention and found that typically very little is recalled before age four as an adult. Bless this officer and the search team for finding this precious little boy; I recall our sons at that age, and how active they were while not yet understanding the world can be a dangerous place!
My brother used to do the same thing when he was 2 years old. Some kids just feel the need to leave the house at the crack of dawn for some reason. I understand the parents are responsible for their child and should have precautions in place, but it’s kind of hard to realize that your child just left while you’re dead asleep, especially when they’ve never done it before and the thought of them walking out isn’t something that’s on your mind. Edit: my parents put child safety locks on the doors after my brother’s first adventure. He still would then wake up early sometimes and try to get out of the house, and we could hear him if we weren’t too deep in sleep. Mans had somewhere to be
Ive just had a completely forgotten memory of doing that! I climbed out of my bedroom window very early in the morning, but then obviously decided running away wasn't for me and had to knock on the front door, waking a very confused mum, lol.
Alarms on top of locks is also a very good idea, especially for children with disabilities that prevent them from understand the issues about going to the park alone. Stay safe 💙
Random story: I once got lost in the park when i was really young and i didn't even know that i was lost. The park has an animal stones and i loved one of them so much. And i was sittting on it just playing then my sister came crying saying how worried she was. I was like: *L o o k a n a n i m a l*
My sister went missing with her friend from my school playground at 5 we all thought she was abducted and called the police when they found her a few hours later it was very similar😂😭 She was found a block or so away by the woods and got driven back. She jumped out of the car and went “GUESS WHAT I DIDNT HAVE A CARSEAT”😂😭
I was left at a Chuckie Cheese once LOL. I wasn't too scared because there were people there that I vaguely knew who stayed with me until my mom came back for me.
What a great officer and the crew. Listening to him describe how cute the toddler was really just made me tear up but smile. And bless that volunteer and search dog.
I was at a local Dunkin Donuts a while back. I was very interested in attempting to figure out why the little girl made a run for it every time the mom looked away. Several times she made it to the second door and she even made it to the street a couple times. Very entertaining for sure. Not like walking...a run as fast as she could to escape. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
My 3 yo daughter did it all the time, by the time she got home she had 3 breakfasts 😂, 1 off grandma and 2 elderly neighbours. It was a little Cul-de-sac of old mill houses and back in the days in Ireland when you could leave your doors unlocked........oh how miss those times 😢
@@56Letitia I love stories like that. I wonder if there is a blog online somewhere of stories of little kids with the escape/run-a-way "syndrome" I'm so fascinated by it. Yes here in NYC I grew up we never locked any doors only at night when we all had to get to bed and if we all went out. Yeah it feels very draining to always have to worry about safety and security. 😖😣😞
Bubbles : 👍👍 like your comment a lot. When my husband was about 10 years old, he walked to the local barber and told him that his mom said that he could get a Mohawk haircut. Now, back then, it was a tight neighborhood so everyone looked out for each other. So not only did he get in big trouble from his mom when she saw it but the barber also gave him ‘what-for’ the next day (and a buzz cut!).
Missing for eleven hours? They must have been fearing the worst in their minds and yet hoping against hope. Great job by the search and rescue dog. ❤️👍🏼
Oh my goodness that poor little guy that was the best part when the police man picked him up and he was still alive this story is making me cry I so happy they were able to find that little lamb bless that service dog it's handler and the wonderful police officers that searched for him you are all heros and deserve all of the heart felt thanks from me and the people of this country thank you and be safe
My heart breaks for that little boy.In blackberry!!!!!!!!!????? I don't think many of you understand that part of the story. I had a job cutting blackberryand, if you pull fast -- it wraps on your clothes....it rips your skin right apart. This poor baby was tortured in that blackberry. Ughhhhhhhhh I hope this "mom" gets cleaned up. Buy some gd child proof locks. 🧐
What a happy ending to a potentially tragic story. Thank you Officer Tatro, Becky Irving, and the wonderful search dog for your efforts in finding and saving the life of that child. This restores my faith in humanity. I am sure the parents of this beautiful child are so happy and very thankful for Tatro, Irving, and the search dog!!! Great story here.
My boy is turning 1 next week and I had tears in my eyes watching this video! As he layed there in the bushes. OMG - soooo glad he made it!!! Prayers to this young cute boy and his family 🙏🏻
I’m just seeing this now. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you officer for being you. I’m 67, and take nothing for granted anymore. Bless you. Thanks as well to the sweet dog. 🐾 🐕 🐾
The bravery and courage it takes to be a Police officer is incredible, you never know what you will discover. Thank God the little boy was found alive.
THIS IS WHY you should get proper child proof door locks for your house. The parents aren't always to blame in some cases, there are also too many selfish construction companies don't even consider this option.
Gods not fucking real you moron. If he was then why are other innocent lives so shit why is the coronavirus here why is this world plaugued by war! If god does exist then hes a twat.
I’ve come back to watch this yet again. The raw emotion of the little guy hanging on to the officer melts me. The little guy chose the right one to hang onto.
Thank you to the woman and her search dog for finding this sweet and innocent baby boy. Also, Thank you to the officer who picked him up and showing him he is safe and loved
What a good and kind man this officer is. And thank God for the woman who persisted in the search w/her dog. The mother must have been so relieved to have her son returned alive.
Thank you Becky for your efforts and your precious dog. you made a BIG difference and saved a child's life at that moment. Thank you and bless you Always
I really hate that the kind, good officers are mixed in with the cruel, bad ones. This is so unfair. However, until there is a way to identify the differences, I will err on the side of caution, and generally consider them all to be potentially bad. So sorry, but that is the way it is.
*If* packs a lot of meaning in such a tiny word. Do you know if there was any history of drug use by the mother? I don't mean CPS claims, I mean medical reports, Criminal charges, etc. If mom did have a problem there should be an abundance of evidence and I wouldn't trust one word from the mouths of DCFS.
The story is about 2 years old, the child escaped sometime after mom had put him to bed and went to sleep herself. When she woke up at 6am, she checked for him and found him gone so she called the police. Later they found out, she was an addict, however that had nothing to do with this particular situation. She agreed on therapy anyways for her child.
Was the mother hitting that meth and crack pipe? I see no mention of how the child could have gotten out and in that spot. Is no one going to talk about this?
I'm glad he's ok. It's heartbreaking enough to hear your child is dead but it's just as hard for the officer who has to deliver the news especially if the officer is a parent themselves.
Yeah in some circumstances. But don't forget there are also several reported case where dog mauls a small kid, biting and pulling a kid from a bike (small kid) and so on. Dogs are big animals with killing potential if it turns out to be unlucky day (not that I said dog kills, but they have the capability to kill if the day is just not a good day) and they shouldn't be left alone with kids without any supervision or maybe just certain breeds.
@@LV-pq8vg oh so you dont wanna believe the truth well also my cousin got killed by a search dog that was owend by the police she was just playing in the ground and when she got up to run back inside that dog ate her alive, this was also show in my aunts camra that is put out side the door to the house
