HERO: 12-Year-Old Boy Breaks Car’s Windshield To Save Young Child Trapped Inside

 HERO: 12-Year-Old Boy Breaks Car’s Windshield To Save Young Child Trapped Inside

A young boy from Tulsa, Oklahoma, acted heroically this week when he broke through a car’s windshield and saved a toddler’s life.

Temperatures rose and the heat index was up to 116 degrees in Tulsa on Wednesday.

Here is more from Fox 23:

A 12-year-old Tulsa boy is being hailed a hero after he broke into a car and saved a toddler locked inside.

It happened at a shopping center Monday afternoon, the hottest day of the summer so far. A woman and her son were walking into the store when they saw the 2-year-old boy crying in a locked car.

Nikki Fields says her son used a ratchet strap from her car and then part of a clothes rack from inside a store to break the windshield of the car.

He then crawled inside and unlocked the car to get the toddler out.

Police say the toddler was red-faced and in a bit of distress, but otherwise OK. He was checked out by paramedics at the scene and did not have to go to a hospital.

Police say they found the mother of the toddler inside the store. She said she thought there was another adult in the vehicle when she got out. Officers questioned that, asking if that were the case, why would she shut the car off and lock it.

Police say they still aren’t exactly sure what happened.

Officers ended up giving the mother at $250 ticket under the “Forget Me Not” law. They say they did not arrest her for child neglect because the kid was OK and this was her first offense.

Police say the child remains with his mother, but there will be a Department of Human Services investigation.

This young man is a hero and thank goodness he was there to help this young child.
