Back in May, a sheriff’s deputy in Clark County, Washington, responded to a call about a 2-year-old boy left alone in a car outside in 92°F heat. The officer didn’t hesitate and immediately smashed the car window to get in and pull the toddler out before later filing charges against the parents. However, as the case has progressed, bodycam footage released on June 17 has provided a clearer understanding of what actually happened.
The footage shows Deputy Ben Hulsey approaching the car with the toddler inside. There were several adults surrounding the vehicle, with one woman saying she wanted to provide the child with shade.
