When Irena Ivic, abus driver in Milwaukee saw a baby walking alone and barefoot in an overpass; she knew what she had to do.

The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) driver spotted the little girl, who is less than a year old wearing only a red onesie and a diaper, running down the sidewalk barefoot at 8 a.m. on Dec. 22, 2018, while driving her usual route. The temperature was below freezing when Ivic stopped her bus to save the baby girl, MCTS said. She scooped up the girl and carried her back into the warmth of the bus. The surveillance camera footage inside the bus showed a concerned passenger waiting by the door when Ivic returned with the girl in her arms. Another passenger gave up her jacket in order to keep the baby warm as it was unclear how long she had been left alone wandering the streets.

The baby fell asleep in Ivic’s arms while they waited for the police officers to respond to the missing child.  According to MCTS, the police said the girl’s mother, who relatives said had just recently experienced a mental breakdown, had left her outside. The police eventually reunited the baby with her father.

MCTS then after awarded Ivic a certificate of excellence, which is granted to employees that exhibit acts of kindness.

Since 2016, there have been nine instances wherein the Milwaukee County Transit System has had to help a lost or missing child get back to their family.

It is an extraordinary thing for MCTS to have drivers like Irena Ivic, who, thanks to her compassion and quick thinking,was able to rescue the baby and keep her out of harm’s way.
