Alert Hairstylist Saves Toddler from Traffic

0:00It's April 2nd. You're listening to Canada News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cori with the story. A hairstylist in La Valle named Cleopatra Pitsakis spotted an unattended toddler dashing across Theroux's boulevard on Tuesday afternoon around 1 p.m. 25 p.m. The little girl nearly got hit by a car, prompting Pitsakis to follow her safely from her vehicle. Once she confirmed the child was alone, Pitsakis pulled over, chatted with her, and learned the toddler thought she was walking home from daycare. They held hands, and walked the eight minutes back together to guardery educative Fabriville. Staff at the daycare were stunned when they arrived. Completely unaware the girl had slipped out. Pitsakis figures the toddler wandered off for about 25 minutes, even managing to put on her raincoat before leaving. Pitsakis reported it to La Valle police that night, and officers confirmed the call but said there's limited follow-up possible. They plan to visit the daycare later this week. This close call highlights how quickly things can go wrong, but thanks to one alert driver it ended safely.
