Unbelievable. Why cal the fire brigade if the relative was on the way? And if the relative was not on the way, call the AA or smash a window. I guess the parent would rather the fire brigade did it because it wouldn't cost anything (never mind what it costs the taxpayer)?

"...before they had to cut him out. "

Maybe I'm missing something? Just how "trapped" was he?

Mr Jones, for the record;
1. This tot was my son and he was with his Nanna - not his mother - as written in the article.
2. She does not know who called the fire brigade - it certainly wasn't her.
3. Her AA details were locked in the car also - so she was unable to call them.
4. The relative was with her at the time- not 'on the way'.
5. The fire brigade did not want to cause him distress by smashing the window - he is only 2 years old.

Sometimes articles do not give the full details!!!
