What started as a trip to the doctor's office for a McDonald mom turned into a heart-stopping search for a helpless child.

"I've got my three year old with me asking where's my baby sister," says the mom, who we'll refer to as 'Skye'.

A Lyft driver dropped her off along with her two kids around 11:30 Thursday morning.
She told the driver she had to get her one year old out from the other side of the car.

"I noticed the sign that he was hard of hearing, you have to speak loud," she said, adding that an impatient driver behind them was laying on their horn.
The 70 year old Lyft driver clearly didn't hear her, and drove off.

"The only thing I was thinking is my one year old is in the back of this man's car and he can't hear, he don't know what's going on."

Eventually, Skye got connected with Warren police and Ohio state troopers.
By then, an AMBER alert had been issued.
More than an hour later came word that the driver - and Skye's baby girl - had been found.

"He had gone back home," says Skye.

Enon Valley, PA to be exact - 40 plus miles away.

"The whole time this is going on, she's sleeping," Skye said.

Thankfully, she and the trooper with her got there just as the driver did, so the baby was never left alone in a frigid car.
Now that it's all over, Skye says she doesn't blame the driver, but rather the person behind them.

"Maybe if that person wasn't so impatient and seeing that I was trying to get out the car, maybe things would've went differently."

In the meantime, she says there are no more Lyfts or Ubers in her future.
