*Updated* Philadelphia Girl, 4, Sneaks Out Alone For 3 A.M. Slushie Run
Video may be played here until I find one I can post. http://6abc.com/news/4-year-old-seek...t-3-am/575480/ WPVI Action News March 27, 2015 PHILADELPHIA, PA - A 4 year old girl grabbed her purple raincoat, slipped out of her house at 3 a.m. and hopped a Philadelphia bus in search of a snack. Bus driver, Harlan Jenifer, says the girl swung her legs in a seat as she chanted, "All I want is a Slushie." Authorities say the girl's family didn't know she had awoken and unlocked the backdoor to start her trek during a downpour early Friday. They found nothing amiss at the house and have no plans to file charges. The bus driver is a father of three. He says he was scared for the girl but found her adventure funny. He says he knew she was in good hands. He stopped the bus and called police. They took the girl to a hospital, where she was reunited with her mother. |

I'll let you know if anything else comes up. Her name is Annabelle. Girl, 4, Found Alone at 3 a.m. Seeking Slushie WPVI John Rawlins March 27, 2015 TACONY, (Philadelphia, PA) (WPVI) -- A 4 year old girl was found all alone in the middle of the night in Northeast Philadelphia, and it turns out she ventured out on her own in search of a frozen treat. It all began around 3 a.m. Friday on Torresdale Avenue near Cottman in the Tacony neighborhood. That's where a man flagged down SEPTA's 56 bus, telling the driver about the little girl he found. SEPTA surveillance video shows little Annabelle stepping onto the bus wearing a purple coat and snow boots. "Got to be kidding me! At this time, at 3 o'clock on the morning," said driver Harlan Jenifer said. "She's a small little thing. It kind of just shocked me." He called police while bus passengers comforted the child, who let them know what her early morning mission was. "All I want is a Slushie, that's all she said!" said Jenifer. Within an hour, little Annabelle was back with her shocked parents - and they've since reconfigured their door locks. Annabelle, however, seemed to be concerned that her Slushie quest was interrupted. "Mom, can you take me to Wawa and get me a Slushie?" she asked her mother, Jaclyn Mager, while she talked to Action News later Friday. "I will take you to Wawa and get you a slushie," Jaclyn responded. "But listen, promise me next time you'll wait for me, okay?" "Yeah," Annabelle agreed, giving her mom a hug. Her father, Timothy Ridgeway, says it's only too easy to imagine how differently this could have turned out. "My mind is wanting to go places, it's hard not to," said Ridgeway. "Thank God for the bus driver." Jaclyn said this will be Annabelle's first and last solo adventure. She repeatedly thanked all who helped bring her home safely. "There are no words, he saved my daughter's life," she said of bus driver Harlan Jenifer. "I'll be forever grateful." |

...a four year old should not feel like they want to leave home/feel comfortable leaving home in the middle of the night, that's all i'm sayin'. never mind the fact that the child managed to pull it off, that's another story in itself....something's got to be up with that family unit.

I guess I don't see a huge deal here. I'm trying to see the silver lining. She is safe. I see a really smart and clever and engaged four year old. She just sound like one that probably keeps mom and dad on their toes! Maybe mom and dad might need to have a gentle talk with her about the ways of the world though. You don't want to scare them to death at that age, but certainly this shouldn't be happening! |
