We’re often told that it’s rude to stick your nose in someone else’s business, but luckily one woman decided to act when she spotted something unusual.
While Syneathia James was driving in the car with her friend Belinda Stoves, she couldn’t help but notice a man slumped over in his Dodge Challenger that was parked on the side of the road. She could have kept driving, but her instincts told her something was wrong, and so she pulled over to check on the man.
“I saw him slumped over in the front seat, and then I saw something wiggling,” James said. “I got out of the car, looked in the back and there’s a baby in the backseat.”
She could only imagine how hot it was inside the car on such a sweltering day, and was afraid the heat would soon kill the child and her father, who was unconscious. “He was sweating like a dog,” James said. “The car wasn’t running, there was no air, and everything was locked. My hand is red from banging.”
She called for help from a resident nearby, and had them call 911, but knew she would take matters into her own hands if they didn’t arrive soon enough. “I said, ‘If they’re not here in a few minutes, I’m going to break the window,”’ James said. “So I went to the back of my van and got my hammer. I wasn’t going to let this baby die.”
Thanks to James, police arrived at the scene, and were able to save the little girl and her father before it was too late. “I was scared because I saw that baby in the car. I’ve been watching the news and they’ve been finding babies in hot cars,” James said. “It was very frightening.”
