Toddler Saves Baby Brother From Swallowing Toy
Twitter
Something of the sort happened when a toddler was having a fun time with his baby brother. Even though an adult was present, the dangerous incident somehow skipped their attention and the toddler had to step in to save the baby.
In the video now viral on the internet, two children are seen playing with toys while an adult accompanies them in their games. It is not clear if the woman with them was the children’s mother or just a relative.
While things were going well in the beginning, not long after the clip started, the toddler noticed something in his baby brother’s mouth. It took him a while to figure out if the baby was chewing on something dangerous or not. When the toddler deduced that the object was indeed harmful and the baby would end up choking on it, the toddler made haste and jumped in to pull out the toy from his baby brother’s mouth.
The big brother used his hands to pull out the plastic toy and saved his innocent brother. The toddler went on to show their caretaker the toy.
