Residents of Heart’s Delight, a community on the southern shore of Trinity Bay, are calling it nothing short of a miracle that a six-year-old girl is alive today. On Tuesday afternoon, in temperatures below freezing, the girl reportedly left her babysitter’s home unbeknownst to her caregiver, walking half a kilometre along the main road, through backyards, and even across a brook with running water. She was only wearing a light dress, and no footwear.
Found at the steps of town hall that afternoon, the girl’s skin was blue and she could barely speak. She was rushed to hospital in Carbonear, where she is expected to make a full recovery.

As parents, we should always know what is best for our kids and I hope that no parent does this again. I am a parent and I’m worried and I don’t want that anyone to experience this. As a way of helping everyone especially the parents, who still find it quite hard to manage issues like this, I found this great application which featured a safety app which gets me connected to a Safety Network or escalate my call to the nearest 911 when needed, it has other cool features that are helpful for your kids with just a press of a Panic Button.
