Hi all,

So check out this TV news story below.  How does something like this
even come close to happening when this child was sleeping in the very
same room as his parents?


Toddler Unlocks Door, Takes Overnight Stroll

Reunited With Family

KGO  By Amy Hollyfield

     Nov. 3 - The San Francisco police have wrapped up their investigation
     into a serious situation overnight on how a 3-year-old boy was on the
     street alone in a neighborhood.

     The toddler was reunited with his parents Thursday afternoon. It took
     some time because police said child protective services had to do an
     investigation.

     They talked to his family, parents and grandparents to make sure there
     was no abuse or neglect, but they think that everything is fine and the
     boy is back with his family now.

     The little boy decided to head out at 12:30 a.m. this morning, and the
     3-year-old was found in the middle of Burnett Avenue in the Twin Peaks
     neighborhood.

     An off-duty nurse spotted him in his 'Blues Clues' pajamas and called
     police.

     It wasn't until his mom woke up that she noticed he was gone, and she
     called the police.

     So how did he do it? He managed to climb out of bed. He sleeps in the
     same room as his parents. He climbed up onto a table and unlocked the
     door and went off on his adventure.

     The good news is he wasn't gone very long, but it appears the little
     kid is ahead of his parents on the learning curve on what they think he
     can do.

     The family has requested privacy during the ordeal and ABC7 is
     respecting that wish.
