North Carolina mom charged with child abuse after toddler got caught in escalator, fell to his death

I agree. You could turn your back for one minute, and a child could be gone.

I just read about a recent cruise ship incident. Grandfather thought a window was closed as were all the others in the dining room. He sat the child on the window sill, and she fell to her death through the open window.

I honestly cannot believe that someone can't tell if a window is open or closed, but I also can't imagine a grandfather purposely being that negligent. The grandparents were on the cruise with their children and grandchild.

I hope she wasn't on her iPhone texting

Moral of the story, stay away from escalators. Use the stairs.

and just this last week a guy fell five stories to his death on one of carnival cruise ships.

seems every week somebody falls overboard down here off a cruise ship.

emergency stop buttons are not very easy to find on escalators. They should be more visible to the public. And i'm sure the manufacturer can think of a device that automatically stops the escalator similar to a pull cord at the top or bottom when something is caught or being sucked down into the ends where the stairs retract leaving a space. We have all kinds of technology today like light beam trips etc.

Happens WAY to fast. I was with my family at a mall in chicago when I was like 9-10. We were looking at something near an escalator, I took a step back to get out of peoples way and my back/butt hit the rubber hand grip- it grabbed me and with in a second I was almost straddle the rail and falling off. My dad luckily seen this happen and quickly grabbed me. Literally with from standing there to 3 seconds almost falling. If he wasn't with in arms reach already, I would have fell.

THIS!! The government is accountable to no one.

Yikes!

The grandfather is being tried in Puerto Rico. A translator is being used. Scary!

She was sitting down talking on the phone trying to arrange a ride from the airport. A single mother, she had a 4, 3, and 2 year old with her. Apparently she was aware the three were near the escalator, but never thought of it being harmful. He wasn't entering the moving stair area. He was on the other side of the rail.

It's unclear how he ended up at the top, but I'll bet he grabbed onto the moving hand rail with both hands and was pulled up that way? Once he was lifted off the ground, he never let go except to try to do it at the top? That what it seems like to me. This video describes him trying to reach for something at the top, so it does not look as if his clothing was "caught" in anything.

Kids do that all the time. They'll grab on to something and put both feet up in front of them as if to climb. That moving rail pulled him up. That's my theory.

Why do you mention Jesus?

That makes sense in this rotten world.

Mom was ignoring the 3 children. The toddler caught the escalator up and at the top tried to grab the hand rail to get off and lost balance, tumbled to the bottom.

CLT Airport escalators are very long and steep.

This is exactly what happened.

Mom shouldn't be traveling with kids not on a leash.

"Jaiden" is such a stupid name.

You can't leave toddler's unwatched even for a few seconds

When I was a kid I saw my father rescue a child who was on the outside of an escalator and hanging by 1 hand 30 ft up

He sprang into action and saved he life and pulled her over as she was about to fall

Her parents should've been charged with neglect

It's what happens when you threaten to sue for millions for an accident.

Because only Jesus can save us ...

People don’t watch there children, as they ought.


.

govt - evilmen- play god. its time to put this god out of its misery

the state just lost a networth of a minimum of 1 million dollars in the slave childs lifetime.

same reason there are seat belt laws


they dont care about you


they care about the money you make for them.


oh they pissed...

I must admit, that in this case, the charge does sound excessive.

Correct. This is big money putting up a shield to defend against lawsuits against their badly designed, unsafe airport.

She has other children to care for? They are going to tear a mother away from her children?

yes

lucifer loves screwing everyone in any way possible

probably truth in your concept

Exactly This!

The Earth is a human farm.

This world is a prison Hell.

Awwww shit. She turned herself in and it wasn't an accident...
