Picture this: a man, minding his own business, takes his furry friend for a leisurely walk when suddenly, he meets a shocking scene – a baby crawling into an intersection with zero parental supervision!

Our unsuspecting hero whipped out his phone in disbelief to record the jaw-dropping sight. The man, visibly perplexed, exclaimed, "Am I really seeing what I’m seeing? Who the h*ck just let their baby out of the house?" 

The camera revealed an empty street – no parents in sight, no cars nearby. It's a baby's version of 'Home Alone,' but this time, in the middle of an intersection.

The 28-second video later went viral and quickly sparked a huge debate on the "r/facepalm” subreddit. Thousands of upvotes poured in as viewers collectively scratched their heads, wondering if they had witnessed a misplaced scene from a parenting sitcom gone wrong.

I mean, It's the kind of plot twist you'd expect from a movie, but this time, it was happening in real life! As the video gained traction, viewers not only slammed the negligent parents but shared similar experiences of wandering kids.

The text in the video ominously declared, "I’m calling CPS.” Oh, and he rightfully should!

The baby, on the other hand, was evidently thrilled by this newfound freedom. They sat down, engaging in a dialogue of baby babble while charmingly tapping their leg—they even acknowledged the man's canine companion. 

The man then utters a simple "come on," probably in a bid to scoop the baby up and begin the search. 

The story in detail

The good samaritan found the baby crawling on the street in Phoenix.

“I know it's hard sometimes but holy shit people, watch your babies.”

“This could be a total accident or could be bad parents, either way it’s wild.”

This story gets wilder with each paragraph

“Well it at least knew to cross at the crosswalk.”

“Happened to my mom. She calls me downstairs and I see she just has a strange baby in her arms saying she ‘found it in the street’….”

Crazy story. Some parents are clearly negligent and ungrateful at the same time

“Thank god he found the baby. I shudder to think what could've happened.”

“I found one in the middle of a rural road. Only a few houses on that road so I figured out where it came from.”

“I once found not one, but two twin babies walking on the road.”

“Thank goodness that person saved the baby, there are sooooooo many stray dogs and speeding cars in this neighborhood.”

Roaming kids seem to be more rampant than we think

In a hilarious turn of events, the unsuspecting man found himself responsible for the pint-sized adventurer on a mission to conquer the crosswalk. 

While the video left us on the edge of our seats, it's unclear whether the man successfully reunited the baby with their parents or if he indeed made that call to CPS.

Things could’ve quickly gone in the opposite direction, but we’re thankful a good samaritan popped out at precisely the right moment.

We sure hope the baby is safe now.
