Earlier this week Flagler County (Florida) Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a Palm Coast Walmart to aid a couple in distress.

The call came in around 5 p.m. When deputies arrived, they found a man and woman were standing outside a Nissan Altima. “The man told deputies he had placed the 1-year-old toddler in the car and had gone around to the other side before realizing the door was locked, and the keys were locked inside,” Flagler SO reported on Facebook.

The man and woman told the deputies that the toddler had been locked in the car for eight to 10 minutes.

According to FCSO, the child was observed "sweating and appearing to be in distress." Deputy Christian Harrison immediately said he needed to smash the window to get the child out of the car. The child's mother can be heard saying, "No, no, no," as he tells her, "I have to. She's been stuck in there."

Deputy Harrison shattered a back passenger window, and the child was taken out of the vehicle and assessed by fire department paramedics. The child was OK.
