Decky Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 i can't imagine the utter despair that mother must've been feeling as she surely thought she'd killed her kid. Just unimaginable really. Not to mention the relief when she found out her baby was fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 you'd be pretty gutted if it was an attempt to get rid of your kid whilst making it look like an accident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lankybellwipe Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Survive or not, I'm sure that mother willl never, never, forgive herself, for what was a horrid accident, but she'll never see it that way. I'd have thrown myself under the next one!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this could be dangerous) Those of us who aren't parents themselves, won't absorb the full gravity of love and devotion, until they see their child, and nurture that child day in day out. For something like this to happen, would be too much to bear/live with as far as I'm concerned. The child lived in this case, and a day wouldn't go by, where I thank GOD for his safety!

Dokko Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Unfortunate accident tbh, glad they are ok, reckon if it was an adult or child by itself they'd had been killed, luckily the prams bounced along like a balloon rather than getting chewed up under the train. Very very lucky. Wouldn't have happened if she wore proper shoes, daft bint. Funny how the guys in the doorway actually shriek away as if its going to hurt them...funny peoples reactions at times.

GM Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Utterly horrific for all involved. Would be hard not to be traumatised by something like that, even if (as it turned out in this case) the outcome was better than it might have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Why don't they just make the paving stones that run closest to the train with a bevel on them to prevent things like that happening? Or should that go in the daft questions thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should that go in the daft questions thread? As GM said, a tripping hazard. What they need to do is to have the paving raise by an inch or so (so if anything rolled to the line, it would roll back), but then you'd need grating further back so the platform didn't flood. Seen stations like that, think its too much cost to do them all like that just because one woman is dumb enough to let her pram roll off and on to the line. (yes i know it was an accident but end of the day whenever i've gone on the train/metro with the bairn in his pram i turn the pram away and stand back, if i'm even planning to let go the breaks go on, not that i think i would where there's trains or cars about. Common sense, something this woman lacks a lot of) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
