Tired Dad Mistaken for Kidnapper After Neighbor Calls Cops on His Baby Walk

Chapman Hamborg, a California father of four, was walking his newborn daughter in a carrier in Huntington Beach when a neighbor called police, reporting him as a homeless man with a stolen baby. Hamborg recorded the encounter, and the responding officer, after checking his ID, left without incident. He posted the video, which drew over 66 million views. Hamborg then partnered with Orange County United Way to sell 80 limited-edition prints of his painting 'Unseen Paths,' donating 20 percent of proceeds to help unhoused people.
