Two Firefighters Calm The 2-Year-Old Toddler With Autism Through Singing A Children Song 'The Wheels On The Bus,' After An Accident

A toddler with autism, who was crying terribly after the car she was into bumped into a tree, was comforted by firefighters by singing a children song titled 'The Wheels on the Bus go round and round.' Raelyn Ginn, 2, was with her mom, Summer Ginn when the accident happened. Luckily, nothing worst happened to the two.

"Will you please sing 'Wheels On the Bus' to her?" 11 Alive quoted Summer Ginn, mom of the toddler with autism, as saying. She added that the terrified toddler stopped crying when the firefighters started singing the children song.

On Oct. 25, the 2-year-old toddler with autism was sitting and relaxing in the back seat of their car which was driven by her mom, Summer Ginn, heading to Challenged Child and Friends School. When they reached Hwy 211, the toddler's mom lost control of the car, pulled off the road, overlapped two lanes of traffic, over-corrected and then bumped into a big tree while driving around 60 mph.

After the car hit many trees, Ginn could hear her child sobbing loudly. "My sweet baby was terrified, and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it," Ginn wrote in her post in My Atlanta Moms Club.

The next thing happened, as mother Ginn remembers, was paramedics arrived and treated them. The firefighters, Sgt. Brian Gregory and Caleb Rumbaugh from Hall County Fire services attempted to console the toddler, but the toddler did not stop crying.

That is when mother Ginn asked the firefighters to sing the children song "Wheels On the Bus" to the toddler. Without any hesitation, the two brave firefighters, who could barely recall all the lyrics of the song, sang and comforted the terrified toddler.

In the ambulance, with the permission of the mother, Raelyn was injected with painkillers to ease the pain she might have experienced. "Knowing my child was safe and not in pain allowed me to take another breath," WSBTV 2 quoted Summer Ginn as saying.
