[@madrose26]

Unfortunately its cause he doesnt have a whole lot of evidence to prove that in the moment, it would be considered speculation. At worst the footage of the rescue looks like an accident instead of negligence. What the father said can be seen as something he phrased poorly. Unless worse things (that thankfully didnt) happened, then they can make an arrest and possibly put in an investigation.

I feel for the mother of Mateo. I’ve had a similar situation happen to me with my son when he was 2. We were sleeping in my bed and he ended up waking up and quietly slipping out of bed and figured out how to open our front door and he went out walking around our apartment complex. I woke up to check on him and when I looked over he was gone. I panicked a little because he never wakes up and just gets out of bed without me so I flew out of bed and saw my front door cracked. My heart dropped, and I mean completely dropped and I ran outside and was running up and down all over the complex screaming his name in tears. The police found him on the other end of our complex. He was gone a total of 20 min and it felt like a lifetime. It was terrifying, the worst feeling I’ve ever experienced and I don’t wish it upon any mother/father. It’s really easy for people to say “what a terrible mother for her toddler to get out of the house” or “how does that happen? Why wasn’t that mother watching her child?” But toddlers are quick and it only takes a minute for something like this to happen and it doesn’t always mean the mother is a bad parent.

I’m really happy that all the children in this video got saved but I’m especially glad that the first mother cared *so* much for her child and that she wasn’t a bad mother

[@skippythealien9627]

contrast the mother with the absolute dipshit who abandoned his son in the cold lake in Minnesota. that was infuriating

[@efsosametbakirhan4928]

The dad at the river really said "yoy saved me" instead of saying "you saved my child" What a disgusting father like even the cops pissed off

Yeah like what kind of father would say that?

[@FellaIsntFine]

The first one is one of the only ones of these videos that I've seen where the parent really starts to panic for their kid. You can tell she's a good mom that just made a mistake. I'm glad her mistake didn't end badly and they were reunited

[@Dawn_EDlTS]

That first clip - you know that's a good neighborhood with people who care about each other because they all united to try to find the mother to the kid. Mad props to the young boy that saw the child running around in the road and got him to safety and got help. That boy was taught well by his parents!

[@steffengr.5556]

We found a boy wandering in the streets once too. We called the police, a few minutes later we saw a women checking the neighborhood and searching. We spoke to her and she was i fact missing her son. While having a garden party, he just wandered off. Funny side note: Mum was a police officer. She was so happy and reliefed

The kid who almost drowned screaming and crying that he didn't want 911 makes me believe that the last time someone called 911 he was most likely abused by his father. Edit: I understand the person in the replies was wrong, but do not attack them. They most likely misread the situation.

@@lindasue263 So the slurred speach and the way he was talking makes you believe that the kid was valuable to him? That's bs woman, he didn't even seem to care about finding his son, i assume that he said to himself "oh no my kid is getting dragged to the middle of the sea! Well, i tried" and he gave up on him

[@coolside8593]

​@@lindasue263 well no. When you're a young kid your parents are one of the few people you have. So when going through a situation like that, no wonder the kid ran to what's familiar, he ran to his dad. Despite could getting abused and litterly being left out there bc that's all he knows. So the kid running back to the dad is 0 proof that the dad did not abuse him for calling the police.

This gave me memories of how I got lost on the Fourth of July and was crying so hard, yelling for my parents. Thank goodness a kind woman in her house was available and let me call my mom. She was watching a movie with her daughter, which was rare, so it was only the grace of god that told her to stay home.

As a mom with an autistic adult, im most afraid when he wanders off. Im so glad that boy finally back to his parents even though it took 3 years.

[@SunsetBlvd13]

I have a baby brother who's autistic and he can't make conversation but can only parrot what you say back at you. I would be hysterical if he went missing. I almost cried when the mother said "our sweetheart is back". Im so happy that boy managed to survive.

[@110self-hate9]

@@SunsetBlvd13My brother’s an adult but basically the same, he’s wandered off a couple times. One time as a kid someone found him in their garden, on their swing set, butt ass naked. They asked if he was okay and he said “swing”😂 this person worked with disabled kids so they gave him a shirt and called the police. As a teenager he once got out of the house at night during a storm. Horrible at the time but he was found by someone who also had an autistic kid, walking near a road with one of our dining room chairs on his head. We were too stressed to notice a missing chair and to this day I have absolutely no clue why he decided to take off with a chair on his head. We can laugh about it now but thank god he was found by decent people.

[@JesusSavesTheLostBrokenConfuse]

@@samirhandi8945 why does syrian matter? Anybody should be rescuing. Pray like this "Our father who are in heaven hallowed be thy name" - Praising God's holy name. Then "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" - That God's will for us to live is to make earth like it is in heaven through our lives meaning since Heaven is pure and holy, goodness and righteous then all those who follow God must do the same to bring Life always to all and Jesus saying "pray like this" meaning thats we should p[ray with our own words but like that. There's more like thanking God for all things and ask God to help against temptation etc. its the "Lord's Prayer" , it doesn't mean pray the same all the time but in our own words as this. That is how the world will stop fighting and all will live in forgiveness and humility, righteous, peace, truth and LIFE. God does not care about futile wars, he wants each person's heart to be like his will.

He's autistic, he could just go for a walk for no reason, without a phone and forgot the way home.

For real!

[@seve8138]

I've been scrolling for five minutes searching for comments about that section ! There might be some mental disease underlying, or severe autistic spectrum disorder? He talks in a quite apathetic voice. The father also didn't look absolutely shaken to learn his son is alive after 3 years (!), might be not the first time, or I feel like the cohabitation was very difficult (fighting) and they assumed he wanted to go his own way (he doesn't look like he wants to go back indeed, but failed to get a decent life).

[@seve8138]

Also 'stolen shopping cart'? Sounds like delusional incoherent talk. Or he just wanted to be left alone (which was probably true anyway).
