This is a story his family will never forget (or let him forget).
On Wednesday, a toddler slipped through the White House gate, with the whole incident being caught on camera.
“Just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers observed a child slip through the White House north fence. Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi wrote on X.
The child, a young boy wearing a blue coat and red shoes, is seen on video being carried by authorities.

This is not the first time a toddler has made their way through fencing near the White House.
According to The Hill, in April 2023, one child got through a metal fence on the north side of the complex and went toward the North Lawn before Secret Service picked him up.
Nearly a month before President Trump’s second inauguration, a person was arrested after they attempted to climb temporary anti-scale fencing close to the White House.
Prior to Election Day last year, the Secret Service built 8-foot metal fences around the White House and Treasury Department complex, as well as the nearby parts of Lafayette Square, the Naval Observatory and former Vice President Kamala Harris’s house.
