Father Smashes Windshield to Rescue Child Locked Inside Car

A father in Harlingen, Texas, smashed the windshield of his car to rescue his child who was locked inside on a day when the temperature of the region rose above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at an HEB grocery store parking lot. The father, who has not been identified, had been shopping with his child, a 1-year-old girl. When they were ready to leave, he put the child in the car and locked the doors, but then realized that he had left his keys inside.

The father tried to break the window with his hands, but he was unable to do so. He then ran to a nearby store and asked for help. A bystander gave him a hammer, and he used it to break the windshield.

The child was unharmed, and she was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation. The father was not injured.

The police arrived at the scene and interviewed the father. They determined that the incident was an accident, and no charges were filed.

The father’s actions were praised by many people on social media. Some people said that he was a hero for saving his child, while others said that he was simply doing what any parent would do.

The incident is a reminder of the dangers of leaving children unattended in cars. On hot days, the temperature inside a car can rise rapidly, even with the windows rolled down. This can lead to heatstroke or even death.

If you are ever in a situation where your child is locked inside a car, do not hesitate to break the window. Your child’s safety is more important than the car.

Here are some tips for preventing children from being locked inside cars:

• Always keep your car keys with you when you are with your child.
• If you have to leave your child in the car, even for a few minutes, roll down the windows and leave the car running.
• Install a child safety lock on the inside of your car doors.
• Teach your child how to unlock the car doors from the inside.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your child safe.
