Mom Accidentally Locks Infant in Car, Calls 911. Emergency Services Tell Mom Help Isn’t Coming.

A Michigan mother inadvertently locked her infant in the car while loading the child and her supplies up on Saturday. When she called emergency services for assistance in freeing the infant from the rising heat in the vehicle, she was told “no.” . . .

Lacey Guyton, 25, was leaving her grandmother’s home in Waterford, Michigan, when she realized that her car keys were in her 2-month-old daughter’s diaper bag — which Guyton had promptly loaded into her vehicle after securing her daughter in a car seat.

Guyton’s stomach dropped when she heard the car’s auto-locks deploy as she was circling the car to get into the driver’s seat. Guyton told ABC News that she had another key fob on her, but it refused to work when she tried to unlock the vehicle. . .

Guyton’s grandmother told dispatchers that there was an infant locked in the car, and the dispatcher reportedly responded that the emergency services department doesn’t answer to such calls of unlocking vehicles or breaking windows. The dispatcher, instead, reportedly offered to send a towing company to the scene. . .

After several more tries, Guyton was able to break the window, but not before her child stopped crying and had started to close her eyes. (Read more from “Mom Accidentally Locks Infant in Car, Calls 911. Emergency Services Tell Mom Help Isn’t Coming.” HERE)
