The story is almost exactly identical to the previous incident which occurred on Motzei Yom Kippur. In that story a 2-year-old child was found wandering the streets by a Shomrim Volunteer. This time a child was found by a Hatzolah Volunteer at 3:30AM, early Tuesday morning.
Sources tell BoroParkScoop.com, that Boro Park Hatzolah has a vehicle staffed by two volunteers which drive the streets of Boro park during the night, and respond as a first response to any call – thus enabling Hatzolah to maintain their 2 minute response time.
The Hatzolah vehicle, known at “Truck 1″, was driving on 53rd Street and New Utrecht Avenue just after 3:30AM, when they noticed a 2-year-old child in pajamas walking down the street. They quickly stopped and held the child, and contacted Boro Park Shomrim and police to see if anyone reported a child missing. There wasn’t any such calls.
Shomrim quickly did what they had done in the previous incident, and had volunteers start knocking on doors to see if anyone was missing a child.

#2 That was a very thoughtful thing to say!
No explanation forthcoming on HOW THIS HAPPENED???
Amazing!
It would be advisable for parents to put locks on their doors, high up out of reach of toddlers.
#4, isn’t it obvious how it happened? Perhaps you’ve never known a 2-year-old.
#6, how high would that have to be? They can carry chairs, you know. That’s how they get out.
The parents went to their neices wedding wen they came home at 4am they noticed that the baby was missing and the babysitter waz slping. The parent called shomrim right away. They live a block away from were this hapend. Bh the baby waz returned home safely
and maybe burglar alarms, so it would alert the family not only if someone came in, but also if someone went out. and i would think they would take the kid to a police precinct to identify him/her by fingerprints, and connect him to his family that way. couldn’t anyone whose door shomrim knocks on say its their kid?
Sorry. I DO blame whoever is in charge, in this case the babysitter. Yes, I know they need to sleep & @ 4 AM one expects EVERYONE to be puffing away. But not securing the doors is just plain irresponsible…. think home invasion. Most homes in Brooklyn have multiple locks. USE THEM!
Parents: your kid can climb out of the crib? Time to move her/him to a bed & secure doors & windows.
Sidebar… coming home from a wedding @ 4 AM? Must have been some Mivtza Tanse!

“isn’t it obvious how it happened? Perhaps you’ve never known a 2-year-old.”
B”H I’ve had five two year olds (b’li ayin ha’ra) over the years. Parents need locks on doors (plus WHATEVER other devices may be necessary) that can not only keep bad guys OUT, but keep little toddlers IN!!!
Sorry, but there’s NO excuse for a lttle child being able to just walk out of a house (at ANY hour). It is ONLY chasdai HaSh-m that this story didn’t have a tragic ending!
Bestbubbt yes it waz their neices wedding and there waz a miztzva tanz. And I disagree wth u abt blaming the babysitter. She’s a human being that went to slp
The door was locked. The child pushed a carriage to the door and unlocked the door. Plain and simple. The babysitter is traumatized and I would be too. So what you’re saying is that the babysitter should’ve just stayed awake and stared at the sleeping toddler to be sure he doesn’t go anywhere??!! he’s never done this before.
