"Police are still looking to speak with a family from Brooklyn, New York, whose baby ended up in a Niagara Falls, Ont., hotel safe."

"Police believe the family, whom they describe as Asian, has not yet returned to their home and is still in Ontario. The licence plate associated with the family's hotel room is B31EUB, with New Jersey plates. The vehicle is described as a 2015 grey Ford passenger van."

What the flippin flip?!!!

So I am getting that the family themselves asked hotel staff to get him out, it's not like they locked him in there and left. It also sounds like they checked out normally, they didn't do a runner.

Nothing to see here, folks. Except some embarrassed parents and perhaps a mischievous big brother.

She said children were playing in the Howard Johnson hotel room on Tuesday when they decided the safe was a good spot to hide but an older sibling didn&#8217;t know how to open it after the baby was inside.

Reminds me of a friend of mine whose 7-year-old daughter thought it would be a good idea to lock annoying 5-year-old brother in a suitcase. We all thought he was missing.

7-year-old daughter's in New York now, doing really well and still loving younger brother to bits. He gets a lifetime supply of free luggage from her though. Guilt complex. And he takes advantage and always chooses the best luggage too.

There is no experience like that of a parent of a missing child going into their bedroom to collapse in despair, then hearing a squeak from the suitcase in the corner.

Many, many years back but I never forgot it.

After an interview with the parents, police say the child is safe and there will be no charges...

Police said the children were playing hide and seek in the Howard Johnson hotel room when they decided the safe was a good spot to use during the game, but an older sibling didn't know how to open it after the baby went inside...

The Brooklyn parents, who were vacationing in Niagara Falls, immediately got help from hotel staff members.

It says police used an interpreter to speak to them... Probably why they couldn't just explain to the hotel staff what had happened.
