10 minutes to realize your child is missing? Just surrender your child to an adoption agency cause clearly your too stupid to take care of it.
Or you could spend the three seconds to realize that zagames restaurant has toys and equipment for kids to play on.
and understand that some parents are fine with watching their kids from their table.
Perfect internet parents are worse than internet gangsters.
I don’t know the kid is what 3?? I’m not going to let my three year old wander through a resturant even if there is equipment for her to play on I’d be standing close by at all times, there are too many weirdos and creeps out there.
Exactly. If you have “run over and check” on your three year old in public places, childrens services needs to “run over and check” on you.
Chuck-E-Cheese has toys and games, and a security check point at the door- yet I have my eyes on my 3 year old the whole time we are there. There is no excuse for inattentive parenting. I have been at the playground with my son and seen kids fall off of slides or monkey bars, and hit their heads on the ground and sit there screaming for their parents with no one except strangers to offer them comfort because their incompetant prick parents are sitting in their cars or playing with their phones. It’s a disgusting world we live in when people can’t be bothered to pay attention to their own children.
My 3 year old manages to sit at the table when we’re in a restaurant just fine. I’d also notice the SECOND he tried to get up from the table, because he isn’t allowed to get up while we’re eating at home, either. Maybe that’s why he’s never been stuck inside a vending machine.
Same here with us. But not everyone is a good parent. Or even competent.
I guess that’s why this is on Parenting Fails.
Such perfect parents. Never made a mistake ever. Wait till theyre in their teens and see how awesome you are. Love judgemental people on the internet.
Sara,
I didn’t get the idea that Lizzy promoted herself as a perfect parent.
She demonstrates good parenting by keeping track of her toddler at all times at a restaurant. No one’s perfect here, or claims to be.
I’m not a perfect parent, and my kids have gotten into plenty of trouble and gotten bruised up. But it must take a couple minutes to get inside a grabber game. How do you lose track of a 3 year old for that long in public? A child could be kidnapped in the length of time.
Gotta love modern groundless paranoia.
Groundless? Wow, you don’t read much do you? Try the news. On a daily basis.
If you are basing it on the news, it is groundless. You are given a confirmation bias. Out of 300 million Americans, you see the few extreme cases that get media attention. Since there is no coverage of the millions of kids that have nothing happen to them each day, you are left with an illusion that the world is a scary place.
There’s a huge difference between perfect and completely incompetent. No one asks for perfect, but we do feel disgusted when someone can’t even do the bare minimum to keep a child safe.
My Moms traditional responce to people like this is “and yet we need a lisence to own a dog”.
How does one not know where thier three year old is for 10 f***king minutes in public?
He was stuck in it for 10 minutes. Doesn’t mean it took her that long to realize he was gone.
Why would a mom leave a 3 year old unattended? Last time I heard of a 3 year old left unattended was this Chinese girl that got run over by 2 trucks and didn’t die. She was alive and suffering because of moms like her.
I wonder which turd stood there taking photos instead of getting the kid out. Like all the other pictures you see of kids hanging upside down, eating lipstick, or with pen all over their face. It’s not a cute, pictureworthy moment – it can be dangerous. That kid could have caught his hand in a gear or something and have crushed his fingers. Put your damn phone/camera away, get the kid out and tell the parents!!
Um. He was STUCK. They couldn’t get him out right away. Why not take a picture if there’s nothing else you can do?
As the traumatized mother of a high functioning autistic child, I can tell you these situations can happen fast. And little kids can do impossible things because no one thought to tell them it was impossible.
that kid is cool, it took me ages to shove my 3 yr old into one of those and he only dropped out 2 teddy’s before we got thrown out.
I really hope that was very expensive!
Why is everyone so butthurt about this? Toddlers are notorious for getting into trouble the second you take your eyes off them. If the kid’s a good climber, he probably could have gotten in the machine in less than 30 seconds. The mom could have turned away for just a little bit and he could have slipped inside while she was distracted. Maybe he was hanging around the machine and she figured that he couldn’t get in too much trouble and that there were a ton of other adults around so she went to the bathroom really quick. Maybe he’s usually really good about staying at the table when he’s told to and this time he wasn’t.
As for why they were taking pictures instead of getting the kid out, why not? They were waiting for someone to come open the machine. Had they just broken the glass to get him out, the boy could have been seriously hurt. As it was, the kid did something dumb, He didn’t get hurt from it, and his parents have a funny story to tell their friends. The mom will probably keep him away from claw machines for a while, though.
10 min is a reasonable timeframe for notifying an employee, who notifies management what happens… then confirms they’re not kidding. Manager takes a look, facepalms, then goes to grab the key.
Wow, sharing the booty with other kids? At least this kid can claim he’s not only Indiana Jones’s kid, but he’s a great person, to boot!
I understand calling it a fail on the parents’ part, especially depending on how many kids you’ve got, though I can also understand that it’s easy for something to just disappear, especially kids.
Though yes, ten minutes is a fail.
Right. Because stealing makes the child a “great person.”
Smart, goal driven, generous and almost foolishly brave. I would be proud to have him as my son.
Would have grounded the little bastard, but proudly.
Hope I got this right, never embedded a video before.
Doesn’t look like I did, I’ll put the link here instead.
Definitely the dumbest…little punk.
