Cornelius Jones could hear his one-year-old daughter screaming but he
wasn't able to get to her it was dark and she was frantic so he dialed 911 and
the emergency services eventually got inside the building but how on earth did
all this happen
Cornelius Jones is a father from Chicago who one night back in 2015 got the
fright of his life at the time his one-year-old daughter journey was
enrolled in a daycare center called all things are possible for kids on the
evening in question Jones headed down to the facility to
pick up his daughter but what he arrived everything was not as it seemed there
was something strange about the daycare center and it immediately made Jones
very worried indeed Jones had arrived 15 minutes before the childcare facility
was due to shut for the day however when he got there the police
already looked totally closed up in fact all the lights were off inside and the
front door was locked and there was no sign of journey first Jones rang the
doorbell in the hope that someone would answer and bring him his daughter but no
one did then he called the daycare number but once again the worried dad
was left hanging by this stage Jones was getting very concerned about his
daughter he tried the center's number again but still no one picked up the
phone that's when the frantic father decided to take matters into his own
hands without a second thought he began kicking the front door however he still
wasn't able to get inside the locked center then Jones heard his daughter's
voice she was screaming and the sound was coming from inside the darkened
building that's when Jones knew that it was time to call 911 so he put the call
in then got in touch with Journeys mom Kitty shibaura forum' Jones's girlfriend
who was also a working professional immediately rushed over to the daycare
center and getting the horrifying call about
journey being stuck inside I was just trying to get over here as fast as I can
because that's the worst thing that could ever happen but I didn't want to
happen she told Fox 32 Chicago soon the fire
department arrived that all things are possible for kids the fireman then got
their tools and worked tirelessly to save the one-year-old trapped inside the
building some dramatic cell phone footage captured the crew trying their
best to prise open the door to get to journey happily the crew eventually
managed to break into the daycare center but once they got inside the ordeal for
Journeys parents wasn't quite over Jones were called not being able to find his
daughter in the moments after gaining entry to the building journey's dad told
Fox 32 Chicago that he was thinking where is she
where is she he remembered being able to hear his daughter screams but still
wasn't able to spot her in the darkness a video taken that night shows the
rescue crew searching the corridors for the stranded time but then thankfully
they finally found her one of the police officers flashed a light to the left and
flashed it back to the right and that's when I saw her crawling towards us
screaming Jones said and my heart just dropped a member of the rescue team then
scooped journey up into her arms finally putting an end to what must have been a
very scary experience for the baby as well as a worrying time for the infant's
parents needless to say Jones was relieved that his daughter was not in
any more danger but the concerned dad still had some questions about how the
upsetting incident had been allowed to happen I was glad that journey was okay
but I was like real mad I was mad because how could you leave a baby in a
daycare how could a child go unaccounted for Jones said to the local news station
boram chu was furious with the center staff for leaving her daughter behind at
the end of the day I come here and I sign her in and out
and so why wasn't the list checked before everybody left she wondered all
things are possible for kids meanwhile offered no comment to the media
although Jones reportedly spoke to the staff after the incident he said that
they claimed staff were still on premises when they came to pick up
journey Boram also spoke to the director of the daycare facility who reportedly
told the mom that staff had mistaken journey for a down but Boram was not
convinced by the explanation she's not that little to be a doubt she pointed
out it was only journeys sixth day and all things are possible for kids and her
parents said they wouldn't be sending her back what's more they pushed for the
daycare center to be closed down on account of its apparent oversight with
their daughter if anything it should be shut down I mean nobody leaves kids
behind toddlers I don't care how old you are that's dangerous
Jones argued Fox 32 Chicago reported that the Department of Children and
Family Services had launched an investigation following the incident
there's no doubt that what Jones and Boram went through his parents that
fateful night must have been horrifying but thankfully journey made it out of
the locked building unscathed the rest of the investigation remains unknown I
