White House security sprung into action when parameter alarms were triggered. The grounds had been breached. Someone had made it past the 13 foot high fence! President Joe Biden was in no danger from this infiltrator. Standing at roughly two feet tall and wearing pampers, this intruder was no threat. A toddler squeezed through the White House fence.
The culprit wandered the North Lawn, having managed to squeeze through the 5 1/2 inch space between the bars. The child was promptly returned to his parents, who were standing on Pennsylvania Avenue. Luckily, no one was in any danger.Though they did shut down access to the complex while they gathered up the curious tot. Obviously, that lush green grass was too inviting to say no.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says after responding to the alarm, they “encountered a curious young visitor along the White House north fence line who briefly entered White House grounds…The White House security systems instantly triggered Secret Service officers and the toddler and parents were quickly reunited.”
The kid should be proud of themselves, though. They’re the first person to successfully breach White House grounds since the installation of the taller fence. While protestors can chain themselves to it, and other toddlers have gotten their heads stuck in it, this child went above and beyond. Squeezing through as gracefully as any cat burglar. Then again, being roughly the size of a cat probably helped. Thankfully, the only result of this escapade is a story that they’ll never live down and probably love to tell.
