Yesterday, this mom went through a scary and heart-stopping moment when her baby got stuck on a train alone without her.

She was at the train station along with her eight-month-old baby, whom she had tucked into a stroller. As the train pulled into the station, she could see that it was absolutely packed.

“It was crowded, and just as I pushed the stroller into the train, the doors closed before I could step inside,” she explained.

“In an instant, my baby was on the train with strangers while I was stuck on the platform. I hadn’t noticed the flashing lights and sound that indicate the doors were about to close, and I’ve been beating myself up about it ever since.”

“I completely panicked. The thought of being separated from my baby like that was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully, a man inside the train noticed what had happened and gestured that he’d stay with my baby and get off at the next station.”

She couldn’t help but completely and utterly break down as she stood there on the platform, and her baby was inside that train car, heading away from her.

Even though this man, this kind stranger, made it clear that he would protect her baby until they could be reunited, she sobbed as she thought about her little girl being in a sea full of people she didn’t know, potentially terrified.

Then, two students who appeared to be 12-years-old at best rushed over to comfort her, and they helped her get on another train and head to the next station.

The journey there took about five minutes tops, but it seemed like a literal lifetime to her.

There at the second station was the kind man, her baby, and an elderly woman who was attempting to help console her baby, who was crying her eyes out.

“The moment I held her was pure relief, though those few minutes of separation felt like an eternity,” she continued.

“Parenting is hard, and moments like this are a sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong. I’m so grateful for the kindness of strangers who stepped up to help, but I can’t shake the guilt of not being vigilant enough…”

There truly are good people still left in the world! What do you think about her story?
