Doing so is not just irresponsible but dangerous. If left too long, the child could suffer from a heatstroke, faint and possibly even die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It happens often enough for police officers to be alarmed about the situation and keep a look out for any babies in parking lots during very hot days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such&nbsp;police officer is Jason Short from Keene,&nbsp;New Hampshire. He was on duty when he received a call about a baby that was&nbsp;left in a car alone in a Walmart parking lot on a very hot day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he never in his mind would have imagined what would happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason didn\u2019t hesitate to&nbsp;rush to the scene as soon as he got the call about the infant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got there as soon as I could,\u201d he said in an interview with&nbsp;WMUR. \u201cI don\u2019t know how fast I was going, but it was quick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At arrival, Jason could clearly see a baby wrapped in a blanket with its feet sticking out through the windows of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a very hot day and Jason had no idea how long the baby had been there. He broke the window open with his baton to rescue the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason gently carried the baby out of the car but feared it might already be dead. It looked lifeless and was&nbsp;very pale, with a strange skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crowd soon gathered and Jason began performing CPR. An ambulance was called to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when Jason&nbsp;realized something was not quite right. He began to feel something was very off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when it dawned on him. What he held was in fact a&nbsp;lifelike doll \u2014 and not a baby at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.newsner.com\/attachments\/images\/000\/290\/741\/newsner_default\/reborn.jpg?1501664150\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9&nbsp;Facebook\/Reborn,Sweet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The doll\u2019s owner, Carolynne Seiffer, came back from her shopping spree to a broken car window and a crowd surrounding her USD&nbsp;$2,000 doll, which she calls Ainsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been laughed at and embarrassed by all the fuss,\u201d she told&nbsp;WMUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;Washington Post, Caroline owns about 40 of these lifelike dolls to help cope with the death of her son. Apparently, these very real looking dolls can work as a healing process for grief-stricken parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t know how people choose to deal with their losses in life,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason&nbsp;was slightly embarrassed after&nbsp;realizing he had rescued a doll, but says he has no regrets and more than anything, is relieved that it was not an actual baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would never assume that it\u2019s a doll,\u201d he told&nbsp;WMUR. \u201cI would always assume that it\u2019s a child.
