Girl, 4, left home in search of a slushie at 3 a.m.

A raincoat-clad Philadelphia 4-year-old girl in search of a slushie slipped out the back door of her home at 3 a.m. on Friday, city authorities said, and began wandering the neighborhood in a heavy rain, on a quest for the frozen treat.
Luckily, a friendly city bus driver picked her up. A few minutes later, police delivered her into the arms of her grateful mother.
The bus driver, 52-year-old Harlan Jenifer, had just stopped his SEPTA bus in the city's Tacony neighborhood to let out a passenger. That's when a man standing in the rain told him to wait.
The girl was standing alone in a purple raincoat. "I'm like, 'Oh, God, what's going on here?' It was shocking, more or less," Jenifer told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "She was drenching wet. She was trembling."
The girl clambered onto the bus and told passengers, "All I want is a slushie."
Surveillance video showed her roaming the bus and swinging her tiny legs in a seat. Passengers chatted with her while Jenifer called the police, who took her to St. Christopher's Hospital, where they reunited her with her mother.
Jenifer, a father of three, said afterwards, "I was scared for her, but it was funny. She was in good hands."
The girl's father, Timothy Ridgeway, told the Associated Press, "Thank God for the bus driver stopping."
Police said no charges would be filed against the family — they were unaware that she'd even left. Police said the girl, who hours earlier had been put to bed, got up and tried the front door. It was locked, so she slipped out the back door.
The girl, whose name was not released, "was in good spirits," Jenifer said. "It was like she knew where she was going."
Actually, she did: a 24-hour 7-Eleven store, which sells Slurpees, was just three blocks away.

 PS. Luckily no child endangerment charges were filed. How much would your attorney have charged for that defense?
