A boy throwing a temper tantrum threw his teddy bear over a cliff, which resulted in a hillside rescue of his parents.
A teddy bear thrown in a temper tantrum turned into a full-scale search-and-rescue operation after the parents tried to retrieve the stuffed animal, but slipped down a steep Glendale hillside and needed to be rescued.
A 10-year-old boy named Soski threw his stuffed animal over a guardrail and down a hillside in the midst of a tantrum around 9 p.m. on Nolan Avenue near McGinn Drive.
"I threw my teddy bear, and then my mom went down to get it, but then she slipped," Soski said.
The child's father, Harry, went to help his wife, but he also slipped on the slick hillside. The couple found themselves 80 feet down the rain-slicked hillside, in need of help.
"We could not climb up because it was very slippery," Harry said, adding that he and his wife were worried because they had left their son alone atop the hill.
Soski ran to a neighbor's house, and they called 911.
Arriving firefighters then used ropes to pull the man and woman up to safety, and neither parent was hurt.
