Kirbie Washington was last week driving in Summerville, South Carolina, when she saw a pair of young children dangerously close to the road. She was shocked to see the little ones making their way closer and closer to the traffic and there didn’t appear to be any adults around to supervise.

Washington stopped her car in the middle of the street and got out to get the toddlers back to safety. “I ran past the younger girl first because she was on the sidewalk just picking up rocks,” recalls Washington. “But the little boy was actually off of the sidewalk in the road.” After getting the children safely off the roadway, she called the police for help.

Staffers from the daycare say the toddlers escaped through a hole in their fence and they were frantically looking for them.
