Mom Hears Baby Stop Crying, Then She Checks Security Cam
Jessica Fortner turned her back for a second on son Greyson, 2, and newborn Everleigh, and chaos erupted.
A Florida mother of two, Jessica Fortner, was stunned to find her 3-week-old baby daughter on the couch after she reviewed the family's security camera footage. Jessica, her 2-year-old son Greyson, and their daughter Everleigh were staying with a friend when the incident occurred. Everleigh was asleep in her bassinet while Greyson was elsewhere in the house.
Fortner went to the bathroom and heard Everleigh fussing, but the crying stopped quickly, so she didn't think much of it. Upon returning, she found Everleigh on the couch and realized the baby had somehow been removed from the bassinet. A security camera had captured the moment Greyson carried Everleigh to the couch. Although Greyson didn't talk much at the time, he told his mom, "I help Sissy."
Over time, Fortner's feelings about the footage have changed, and she now shares the story as a reminder that kids can be unpredictable, even to the best parents.
