Motorists were shocked to see two toddlers, dressed only in diapers, stagger precariously across the highway after being thrown from a car in a horrific crash. The terrifying incident occurred on the East Freeway of Interstate 10 near Freeport in Texaswhere a two-car collision caused one vehicle to roll over several times, dumping an adult and two small children onto the road.
The disturbing scene has sparked outrage online, with many blaming the parents. The footage shows one toddler struggling to stand, while another looks dazed and confused.
Fortunately, neither child appeared to have life-threatening injuries, but authorities are investigating. Social media users were quick to criticize the parents for what appears to be a failure to properly secure the children in car seats.
The video has gone viral on the internet. Reactions range from relief that the children miraculously survived to anger, with calls to arrest the parents for possible neglect, according to Mirror US.
“This video will make any parent's heart sink,” said one Instagram user.
Another insisted, “The driver should be charged with child endangerment!” Meanwhile, one commenter suggested, “Not putting your children in child seats and not wearing seat belts should be a federal crime.”
“God must have been watching over these children because they are alive and walking. Thank you God for watching over your children. Amen,” one relieved viewer shouted in gratitude, while another exclaimed succinctly, “Thank goodness the children are okay.”
