Illinois Cop Chases down Fleeing Toddler in Traffic who Refused to Comply

The toddler refused to stop at the officer’s commands.

But he was eventually captured unharmed.

The Naperville Police Department posted dash cam video on its Facebook page showing the incident on Monday explaining the kid, a toddler, escaping from his mother’s “watchful eye” when she wasn’t looking.

The kid then left the house, fleeing on foot before officer Anthony Mannino spotted him running south down Route 59 near Chicago on June 7 last month.

“Last month, this youngster escaped his mother’s watchful eye, left his house and was found by Sgt. Anthony Mannino running on Route 59!” the department explained on their Facebook page.

“Luckily, no one was hurt, and we attribute that to Sgt. Mannino’s observation while on patrol and quick reaction, placing his squad car and himself between the child and traffic. On June 7, Sgt. Mannino was presented the department’s Life Saving Award. Well done, Sergeant.”

Mannino’s dash cam video shows him patrolling the beat when a running boy appears.

A truck passes only a few feet way from the toddler.

Officer Maninno can be heard describing the boy as a one-year-old to dispatch.

He jumps out of his car shouting at the running boy.

“Hey! Hey!” he shouts as the boy continues to flee.

“Come here!”

The boy doesn’t stop and continues to run.

Eventually, Maninno catches up to the boy.

“You’re OK; you’re OK,” he assures the kid.

Maninno then radios to dispatch he captured the toddler.

“Whats your name,” he asks before the video ends.

No one was injured during the ordeal and the boy was safely returned to his mother.

Mannino received the Naperville Police Department’s Life Saving Award last week.

“On June 7, Sgt. Mannino was presented the department’s Life Saving Award,” the department wrote on its Facebook page, lauding the officer.

“Luckily, no one was hurt, and we attribute that to Sgt. Mannino’s observation while on patrol and quick reaction, placing his squad car and himself between the child and traffic,” the department continued, honoring the officer and congratulating him.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
