A police officer’s swift action to rescue a baby in a hot car took an unexpected turn when he realized he had smashed the window for a lifelike doll. Jason Short, a police officer from Keene, New Hampshire, responded to a call about a baby left alone in a car on a sweltering day.
However, as Jason continued to administer CPR, he began to feel that something was off. It wasn’t until he took a closer look that he realized his mistake – the “baby” was actually a remarkably realistic doll. The doll’s owner, Carolynne Seiffer, returned from her shopping trip to find her $2,000 doll, Ainsley, surrounded by a crowd and her car window broken.
This unusual incident serves as a reminder for owners of lifelike dolls to take precautions to avoid similar situations. Despite the mix-up, Jason’s actions demonstrate his commitment to prioritizing the safety of potential victims, even if it means erring on the side of caution.
