It can happen to any parent. In a split second, this toddler likely ran off and was immediately in traffic and seconds from being struck and killed.

This Naperville Police Officer's dash cam caught the entire rescue from the moment the toddler ran barefoot into traffic.

Thank God Sergeant Anthony Mannino was driving by when he was. Because of his efforts, Sgt. Mannino received the department's Life Saving Award, according to abc7chicago.com.
