It appears that a baby was accidentally locked in a large safe in a room of the Howard Johnson Hotel on Victoria Ave. in Niagara Falls Canada. Police don’t have the full story but news reports say that cleaning staff were approached Tuesday (August 8, 2015) by “family members or the child’s parents” in a distraught state. Management sent a maintenance person to open the safe where the baby was found to be in good condition. The child was apparently not in the safe for very long. Police were not called for about an hour and by that time the family, said to be from Brooklyn, New York, had checked out. Although it is not known how the baby got into the safe with the door closed it seems quite possible that if there were other children in the family innocent playing might have led to the distressing situation.
