He said he later found out the baby&rsquo;s mother was out at the time and the father had fallen asleep at home, so he posted the story as a cautionary tale to others.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The baby was almost in the middle of the road and if a car had been speeding past that spot while the baby was there, I don&rsquo;t want to imagine [what would have happened],&rdquo; Kittithorn said.
