Mother mistakenly locks keys inside house

In another story, Briefly News reported that a mother, @baby_elihle07, shared a short video showing how her kid came to her rescue when she mistakenly locked her house and car keys in their apartment.

Left with no immediate solution to the problem, the woman thought of a better way to rescue the situation with her kid.

She passed the kid through the tiny space between their window. After her little son gained access, he went around their living room as the mother gave instructions.
