On hot days, we have previously reported instances where parents leave their infants in cars while they go shopping. This is not only careless but also extremely dangerous. If left unattended for an extended period, the youngster may experience heatstroke, faint, and possibly die.
On scorching days, it occurs frequently enough for police officers to get concerned about the problem and watch for any infants in parking lots.
Jason Short, a police officer from Keene, New Hampshire, is one example. On an extremely hot day, he was on duty when he got a report about an infant who had been left alone in a car in a Walmart parking lot.
However, he never would have thought of what would occur next.
As soon as Jason received the call regarding the baby, he hurried to the location.
When Jason arrived, he could plainly see a baby with its feet protruding from the car’s windows, covered in a blanket.
Jason had no idea how long the infant had been there, and it was an extremely hot day. To save the infant, he used his baton to smash open the window.
Jason believed the baby might already be dead, so he carried it out of the car tenderly. It had an odd skin tone, was extremely pale, and appeared lifeless.
Before long, a crowd had assembled, and Jason started administering CPR. The scene was attended by an ambulance.
Jason became aware that something was amiss at that point. He started to sense that something was seriously wrong.
That’s when he realized. What he was holding was not a baby, but rather a lifelike doll.
Carolynne Seiffer, the owner of the doll, returned from her shopping trip to find her USD $2,000 doll, whom she calls Ainsley, surrounded by people and a shattered car window.
“I’ve been laughed at and embarrassed by all the fuss,” she told WMUR.
The Washington Post claims that Caroline has around 40 of these realistic dolls to help her deal with her son’s passing. It appears that parents who are grieving can find solace in these remarkably lifelike dolls.
“You can’t know how people choose to deal with their losses in life,” she says.
After learning that he had saved a doll, Jason felt a little ashamed, but he says he has no regrets and is more than pleased that it wasn’t a real infant.
“I would never assume that it’s a doll,” he told WMUR. “I would always assume that it’s a child. I would never do anything different.”
The $300 USD needed to fix Caroline’s window was covered by the Keene police department.

Despite the peculiar nature of this incident, the most important thing is that no one sustained injuries. Authorities recommend that if you own one of th
these dolls, you should carry it with you or leave it in your car’s trunk.
