I saw this on the news a few nights ago, then the next night they had the smoking two year old, and last night was another escalator mishap, only it was someone falling down who ended up at the bottom with no damage at all.
That kid is so lucky though. The thing I couldn't believe were the other people who passed him going the other way and didn't notice.

good job, foreign guy!
that kid was spinning as he fell, and would have whacked his little bean on the concrete. probably saved his life. excellent to outstanding. that guy can go out tomorrow and rape a hobo and still be on the good side of the karma scale.

OK, if that was meant to be funny just ignore what I'm going to say next.
It's my understanding the the footage is from security tapes within the shopping centre.

No, it wasn't meant to be funny. Where the hell was the dad? it just seems a little surreal like the catcher was the only person to understand the danger....

Or the mother?
I suppose it literally only took less than a minute to happen. Have you ever taken your eyes off your kids for a minute in a shopping centre? I don't like to think I have, but in reality, that's probably not true.

Everyone has done it Ali. You can't protect them all the time. Some make it, some do not.
It is not because you are a bad or inattentive parent. Shit happens. |

They said he went to the mall and home with his dad, though. The ride may have been only a minute or two, but was the dad just right there with his back turned?

Who knows. I'm just saying that at one time or another this, or something like it could easily happen to almost anyone.
I know there have been times when I've felt lucky my kids are safe. It just takes no time at all for them to get themselves into dangerous situations.
