Toddler Reunited With Mother After Solo Subway Ride
They grow up so fast don’t they? First you are changing their diapers, next thing you know they are riding the subway.
Thankfully, this story has a happy ending, but it starts out with a parent’s absolute worst fear:
With her son in tow, Griselda Sosa went to get coffee at a corner bodega in Marble Hill on Monday. In the instant she went through the door, she turned around and the 5-year-old was gone.
The toddler was reunited with his mom soon after the tyke found himself on the subways of New York alone. Naturally, the mom was scared (we all would be) but, almost as a testament to the way kids are:
The article says:
“He came back happy. When he saw me, he was very happy,” said Sosa.
Sosa says her son has a lot of energy As clear as that may be, it is a mystery what exactly happened during his trans-Manhattan adventure. She says as scary as it was, she thanks the observant transit worker and officers for their quick work in bringing him home.
Manhattan is huge and can be very confusing to those who aren’t used to it, and as this story proves- even those that are. Shown above is just the midtown line, quite possibly the least confusing. Coming from a writer who has herself (in my mid 20′s) gotten the subway headache and a bit lost in transit in the same subways in New York’s Manhattan.
Admittedly, the toddler handled it a lot better than I did.
