A child had to be freed from a popular pickup truck for more than 30 minutes on Saturday in Buri Ram province.

The child was rescued by the Siam Ruam Jai Foundation volunteers who were waiting at the Sa Ya Ma industry in the Nang Rong city.

Upon arrival, volunteers met the boy’s family, who said her brother was only one month and six months old.

About five hours were needed to open the baby. The child was discovered covered in perspiration as a result of the car’s extreme heat. Despite the suffering, he was in safe state, according to reports.

The mother admitted to keeping her brother in the pickup while working at a local cellular phone shop. She claimed that she spent about 30 days in the store without turning the air conditioning on. But, when she returned to the pick, she found that the website had stopped and the doors were locked.

The mother claimed that she thought her child had unintentionally locked the doors and pressed the start-stop option as he scurried around the interior.
