This story will break your heart. Some people just don’t deserve to be parents! Kudos for Willie for being a guardian angel wearing a bus driver uniform.
The New York Post reports that an eagle-eyed Queens bus driver rescued a two-year-old boy when he spotted him shivering on the street at 4:00 a.m. wearing only underwear – and now police are searching for the apparent absentee mother and the child is in the city’s care.
Veteran bus operator William Allan, himself a father of two, stumbled upon the heartbreaking scene on Wednesday morning as he was starting his Q55 bus route.
Turning the corner on to 60th St. and Putnam Ave. in Ridgewood, he saw young Thomas Baginski, alone, confused, and scared as cars whizzed just feet away.
Allan said the sight shook him to the core.
"I pulled the bus over and got out - he reached his arms up to me, he wanted me to pick him up," he said. "He couldn’t even really move he was just so frozen cold."
As he held the boy, Allan called 911 and brought him on the bus. He shut the door and cranked up the heat, hoping to stave off any signs of hypothermia.
"He was sitting in the seat by the front door. The elevated train went by and he said ‘choo choo.’" Allan recalled.
"That’s the only thing he said – it touched me – I’ll always think of him now when I hear the train," he said.
The boy was so small, Allan said, he could have been hurt or abducted with little notice while on the streets alone.
"If he walked between cars, no one would see him," he said. "I won’t want to think about what would have happened."
Police arrived and scoured the area for open apartment building doors. They found one about a block away, and inside, the found an open apartment door.
