Mail Carrier Hailed As Hero For Helping Toddler
WILKES-BARRE — Wilkes-Barre police took custody of a toddler after finding the child alone inside a Hazle Street apartment Friday morning. Officers said the toddler was bruised and wearing only a dirty diaper, alone in a filthy place, with a space heater on.
A mail carrier walking by the apartment heard the child’s cries for help and called police.
“I think it’s horrible and you know, I’m kind of wondering where the neighborhood is going,” said Brian McCann, who lives on Hazle Street.
The mail carrier could not speak with Newswatch 16, but people who live in the area on and around Hazle Street called him a hero.
“He did a great job. If it wasn’t for him, that child may not be here today,” said Jim Prato of Wilkes-Barre.

Carrier: Now that’s what I like to hear. A carrier who knows that his job is important, a carrier who is proud of the work that he does, and a carrier who is committed to his job and his customers. You have every right to be proud because you perform a vitally important function. I am sure that your customers are glad to have you as their carrier because I am sure you do a wonderful job. To all carriers: Thanks for a job well done!
I congratulate my fellow carrier and I love stories like this especially when it involves those that are truly helpless. This is just great and it makes my day. Most of all it makes me ever more alert and vigilant to the needs of others…
We do the same route everyday. We are a part of the community and we serve and all of us would assist anyone in need at anytime. That is our duty. We serve others all day long. I love what I do and I love my community because I am a part of the community I serve. I am there and I can see and I have compassion for others.
This is what we do.
Learn it-live it and love it
