Bantex Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Poor kid, probably told to hold the handrail but not told to let go at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdome Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not ridiculous at all and if you are honest, what you are saying can't be right unless you stayed with them, followed them everywhere around the clock. You are simply being unfair on Thailand here. Accidents with little kids happen all over the world as the little ones are faster than their parents and sometimes getting in serious trouble due to that.

There's always something wrong with the parent, the local, the policeman, the governement, the school, the company..... as long as it's Thai there's always going to be a problem with it, according to you, every single time!

NickJ Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 As a kid. I was terrified of a firecracker blowing off my fingers. Losing an eye. From a bbq gun. AND a hand from an escalator. For decades I have been scaring the little brats away from them while there parents scratch there privates and or talk on there phones. Well, they pile the kids into pick up trucks like sardines. So you get what you get. Sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you let them cross the road unsupervised, of course not so why leave them to their own devices on an escalator The only thing your post proves is that there are slack parents everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't make me waste my time on this, it's a far too easy to confirm, as everyone knows: "Bloody police think they can do whatever they want, and are not accountable to anyone". "The government will educate them on hygienic requirements. What show them how to make food attractive to rats, same as in the government cafeteria." "Submarines necessary for national security. Sad fact is these plonkers actually believe that". "They thought Mr Pamoke was a for a foreigner and drunk !! So that would have made it ok, kick the s..t out of foreigners but not Thais. " "To serve and protect just dosnt fit when it comes to the police here. Everywhere there are policemen involved in all kinds of criminal activities".

Slack parents everywhere is a fact The child suffered this nasty experience because of what appears to be the mothers lack of care, or at least inattention, much the same thing when on an escalator It appears to have been her fault I cant see how you can blame Thailand, I blame the mother The phrase, but it happens everywhere, is usually used in an effort to defray the finger pointing from the guilty party, it carries no validity in my view much the same as stating the obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post 23 makes my position quite clear on this incident, in plain and simple terms I refuse to enter into a debate concerning grammar so I will leave it with you Rest assured you will get plenty of ammo from me if its poor grammar that turns you on 555555 I find people who misquote / change quotes to be more of a problem but then I can live with it Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats56 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I always hang on my 5 year sons hand when going on escalator or crossing the street. The only time he got into trouble was when he grabbed a boiling pot of water and got scaled on the hand. Hé was howling pretty good. I got a bucket of ice water to put his hand to stop the burn. My tgf mother was here at the time and said I should use warm water. I just rolled my eyes. The things they believe amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm only glad the little chap didnt lose any finger's.There was a beautiful child model in the Uk long ago. Little blond kid she was. She was in a few adverts, one was pears soap, i think.Any way she was on a moving stair case,in a store or the underground and she lost her lower leg when it was caught in the stairs. Any body remember her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Escalators are dangerous for the unwary. Perhaps parents should teach children how to ride an escalator safely. Years ago, there were horrendous accidents in the USA but I think that the escalators have gotten safer. Just don't let your little girl carry her stuffed teddy bear any where near machinery such as escalators, merry-go-rounds, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
