U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers, who are responsible for security at the White House, walked across the North Lawn to retrieve the tot and reunite him with his parents on Pennsylvania Avenue. Access to the complex was briefly restricted while officers conducted the reunification. Officers briefly questioned the parents before allowing them to continue on their way.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers “encountered a curious young visitor along the White House north fence line who briefly entered White House grounds.” “The White House security systems instantly triggered Secret Service officers and the toddler and parents were quickly reunited,” he said in a statement.
It may be the first successful intrusion onto the complex since the White House fence was doubled in height to roughly 13 feet in recent years after a series of security breaches. While taller, the new fence has an additional inch of space between pickets, for a total of 5½ inches between posts. Older children have sometimes become stuck in the iconic barrier, which has also been the scene of demonstrations, with protesters chaining themselves to the fence.
🙄🤦♀️
He heard free sniffs were to be given out.
lucky he wasn't shot
And it took them how long to shoot the balloon? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blame trump he send kid in there for secret documents lol lmao
That’s no way to handle a child
Yeah, it’s cute now, buuuuttt. . .
Meanwhile last weekend in Chicago
Thank goodness Biden didn't get to him first, the bidens are notorious human traffickers!
Where are the parents
Harambe would be alive today if kids were kept on a leash🤦♂️😂
I guess we should just be grateful they didn’t shoot him… not this country really cares when kids are shot and killed so whatever.
All the stories in the world and you choose this ABC…
Oops!!!
Some ppl are like to understand that children are fast, but then I’m trying to wondering what are the jobs of parents? If you are in a public place, where you know your child can easily run and get away you need to be prepared. Tie urself 2 ur child! Period!
Baby face nelson
This wouldn't have happened if bud lite went on sale californiadreaming vermont squirrels
Cute...
White house doesn't even allow visitors n tourists that close to those gates anymore!
My son almost did that when he was a toddler. I grabbed him as the officers were coming toward us, and so it goes. So sweet
White House the government treat people like peasants
Really people, the ones that keep asking “Where are the parents” must have never had children. Kids can slip away from their parents so fast, it’s scary. So let’s just chalk it up to “oh my, that toddler made it threw the White House gate all by himself” and have a laugh.
I hope he made them run
The reality terrorist sects actually use toddlers or anyone who you may not suspect to be a bomber.
Haven’t I seen this same kid inside a claw machine?
That’s hilarious! These two clearly don’t have kids and can’t hang onto one little kid
Watch ya kids
The one on the right is handing the child to the one on the left
They have the one officers hand under his butt and the other officer supporting his back, he’s not dangling!
Toddlers can be pretty slippery. 🤣
Where was his parents should be the major discussion but the media blows shit up bigger than it needs to be.
Awwww ❤️
Dang. Holding him up like they want to rip him in half. Poor kid. I'm surprised ol' Joe ain't out there sniffing him.
So how did parents allow their toddler to squeeze through the metal fencing?
It would have been really funny if Biden had walked out just then and invited the family in for a meal.
Let's be real hear people. Not the secret service guys fault in the least. Parents do you know where your children are? Who snapped the pic? Probably the parents do b they could get some social media recognition.
Mom/Dad taking pic. Put kid down, kid squeezes through fence in an instant. Obviously some people here never had rambunctious kids.
Where was the toddler's parent or guardian?
Looks like they are just mid transferring from one officer to another. Everyone needs to chill 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Miranda rights read? In baby language
Could be a distraction maneuver… 😜
Fine job. I know his Mom was relieved
Omg you people are insane wanting to blame the parents for not watching their child … maybe they had him standing in front of the fence to take a damn picture and the kid being a kid squeezed through before they could stop him…. It’s an innocent kid behavior
Seriously! Where WERE the parents?!!!
All I hear, looking at this, is the theme song for Mission Impossible!😁
Such critics wow
That's incredible
The President has all the good pb&j without crust.
Where's his parents
They're are not dangling or mistreating the child. Officer on the right has his arms under the child's legs and the other his supporting the child's back. We have no idea if the toddler was struggling or not since it's a still photo, but my guess is he's not real happy.
Knowing their usual response, I'm surprised they didn't waste the kid
Just had a play date with President Biden.
Was his name Tommy Pickles?
US media picks the scariest picture for comments and it worked compared to the BBC. People need to chill they were literally just passing the kid. It isn't hanging or scared
People use kids to commit crimes, so they have to do their jobs.
the Chinese are going to send midget secret agents.
People should be critical of the parents who obviously weren't watching their kid. That's where the criticism should be, not on the secret service doing their job.
Good parenting.
Are we training toddler now. 🫣😂
Look at their hands, the guy on the right is handing the kid to the other. Maybe we should be asking why the parents aren't watching their kid. Media gotta make stuff bigger than it is. Probably happens tons of times. We should be laughing at this, all except the parents.
This has to be the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. Hes gonna have one hell of a story when he’s older
Some how, I think there is context that's missing in the picture. On the other hand, I wonder where his folks were.
no really where are his parents !!!!!
Everyone talking about it took 2 guards to carry him have never tried putting on shoes a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and full meltdown.
Ummmm where were the parents? 🤔
Release the hounds
Anyone wonder where his parents were?
He was there to give the Big Guy his 10%
'Just toss him back, he'll be fine'
The photo gives me red flag vibes. Why they holding a lil kid like that?
Chinese spies are getting pretty creative.
Given their track record on such things, they'll probably charge that baby with leading an insurrection and give it 15 years in prison.
Look at how they’re holding him! Like he’s a piece of trash! He’s a child, not a rat! Shame on both of these grown “men”! Just another poor example of our government run by Biden these days! Americas Shame…… poor baby! Bet those men’s parents are so proud!!! Not!!!
Smart kid... Running away from all the BS! Lol
That's my kind of intruder. Just wanted to explore not hurt anyone. Refreshing story
Bad azz
I am surprised they didn’t shoot the kid I. Thought that’s what you do over there.
He could probably be better than what we have in the White House now!
They’re holding him like a criminal.
How are they dangling that frightened little one?
His parents are never gonna let him l8ve that down. 😂
He's one up on Biden...took biden at least 4 trys to figure out how to get inside the fence.
Uh-Oh, you're going to jail Lil Guy
I hope that's a satire photo because if not, that should be a major red flag !
A trained Russian spy, he'll be locked up now, you'll never hear of him again. Why couldn't the Capitol police get him unstuck 🙄 they do a prisoner swap with him.
Are we sure he wasn't actually trying to escape?
Apparently it took two of them.
Obviously this toddler was MAGA white nationalist and must be held in the DC gulag without charge for 3 years.
Must have been white since they didn’t shoot
sure are crafty at getting through the borders aren't they lol
Hey...that toddler was demented Joe's..DATE..
I'm sure shortly after he was brought to Biden for a sniffy sniffy inspection...
Lol, I'm surprised they didn't shoot him on sight
Trained Russian toddler assassin
Lock him up
Bet he's Russian.
