Michelle Gallegos who is a zTrip rideshare driver in San Antonio Texas is being praised as a savior when she was driving her auto on Tuesday March 10 when she saw a young boy who was wandering on a busy road when she stopped her auto, got out of her auto to pick up the young boy from being hit by a vehicle. After Michelle picked up the young boy whose name or age was not released and she pulled her vehicle in a parking lot near an apartment complex to call the San Antonio Police Department. The parents of the young boy lived an apartment complex when they were searching for their boy and were able to reunite with their young boy safely. The boy managed to leave his parents while they were at an appointment. The parents are grateful that Michelle was able to save the boy from being struck by an auto on a busy street.

A toddler Manages to " leave" his parents when they had an appointment. Could they not have taken the kid to the appointment and had him in one of those halters

Quick and real action averted a possible accident, and she was alert to respond when she saw the possible disaster. Good on her.

Parents like that should be investigated on how long the boy was alone and how he got out,

I’m happy the boy was spotted by this woman and rescued, but what kind of ignoramus parents don’t keep an eye on their child. Omg!

I just read this story. You know, I don’t want to judge, but how in the world does a child end up in the street without calling the parents incredibly irresponsible.
