Prisoners baby-sit toddler found on Maryland motorway

Prisoners baby-sit toddler found on Maryland motorway

A prison work crew looked after a toddler who was spotted on Friday running along the centre of a rural motorway in Maryland as trucks loaded with gravel rumbled by, police and correctional officials said.

The six inmates shared their lunches with the 2 1/2-year-old boy, who apparently had wandered away from home, and played with him while authorities located the boy's parents, said Gary Kershner, a correctional officer who was overseeing the prisoners.

"Me and my inmate crew, we just kind of baby-sat for the next three hours," Mr Kershner said. "They were as much entertained by the child as he was by them."

Aaaaaaaaahhh bless them!
