This is the astonishing moment an 18-month-old toddler apparently escapes from nursery – and walks alone to his mum’s workplace.
CCTV footage shows the tiny tot toddling along a street in Braço do Norte, Brazil, completely by himself.
At one point, he tries to climb onto the pavement and tumbles over before picking himself back up and continuing his journey.

Incredibly, the youngster then makes it around 50m (55yd) to his mum’s workplace.
Footage shows him reaching the building and banging on the glass door to be let inside.
A receptionist spots the toddler before looking around and realising there is no adult with him.
She then scoops him up, carries him inside and reunites him with his stunned mum, as reported by Need To Know.
The boy’s mother said she had dropped him off at nursery at around 7:20 am.
She claimed he managed to leave shortly after 8:45 am.
She said: “They were in the playground and the playground is close to the entrance.”
The nursery was undergoing renovation work at the time, and the mother said its gate was damaged.
Local reports said cars were passing along a nearby road as the toddler made his way to his mum’s workplace.
The youngster has since been moved to another nursery.
Police opened an investigation yesterday (28 September) to establish how the 18-month-old was able to leave unsupervised and whether anyone should be held responsible.
The local education department has also launched its own inquiry.
Local official Joana Silva Lessa said in a statement: “The department is taking the appropriate measures and confirms that all relevant administrative and legal action will be taken.”
