Toddler is Delighted as he Watches Firefighters Rescue Him From a Locked Car

A child locking themselves in a car is every parent’s worst fear. Child and parent can be visibly distressed from the ordeal. But one situation in England, had a toddler reacting a completely DIFFERENT way.

Eighteen-month old, Brandon from Cornwall, England, locked himself inside his mother’s car last Friday.

Kirsty Green, 27, had put her son in the backseat of her car, while she unpacked her groceries into the boot.

However, she realised when she closed the boot, she’d left her keys in there.

Before she could race to pop the boot open, her toddler activated the car’s central locking system, which locked Brandon in the car.

Green panicked and the staff from the grocery store called for rescue services to help the distraught mum. Brandon didn’t seem too concerned.

A team from Bude Community Fire Station showed up and tried to free the toddler by using hand tools, but when a crew member saw Brandon had a two-pence coin in his mouth, the team went into overdrive, smashing the rear window to return the toddler to his mum.

Throughout the ordeal, Brandon was delighted by the situation, smiling at the crew as they tried to break into the car to free him.

Despite mum’s expected distress, she thanked the crew, with a tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, “Thank you to the amazing guys who rescued my cheeky monkey after locking himself in the car today at Bude Lidl!!” Green wrote on Facebook. “He was clearly traumatised by the whole ordeal.”
