As parents, we need to be super vigilant and accidents do happen in life.

My feel is that somehow the toddler \"escaped\" from adult supervision. Whoever was looking after him could have been distracted by whatever and in the blink of an eye the toddler was on the road.


What are we adults for? Aren't we supposed to protect our little ones? No matter how much a child struggles to free himself, no matter what tantrums the child throws to get away, don't we adults know better than to let go? :stompfeet:

Just takes a split second for an accident to happen! :sad:

kids at this age do not know what is danger...on the roads, adults have to hold their hands tight and no matter how they wriggle free, cannot let go.
that woman needs a good scolding :rant:

Maybe she is just the babysitter. :siam:

Then it's time for her to find another job. Who would dare engage her???

Very very lucky to have escape unhurt. Parents should be more careful next time. Any distraction can cause a serious consequence.

Actually, on reviewing it, i guess the woman could be the grandmother instead of the mother? If she was the mother, once she saw the toddler running across the road, maternal instinct should made her sprint like usain bolt to chase after the toddler, rather than what we see in the video, like a humpty dumpy cannot even catch up like that...

If cannot take care, don't. Hope she learns her lesson, else it's a disaster waiting to repeat itself...

My feel is that somehow the toddler "escaped" from adult supervision. Whoever was looking after him could have been distracted by whatever and in the blink of an eye the toddler was on the road. Just glad that the parents do not have to suffer the fate of 白发人送黑发人 and the drivers are safe.

I would have gotten out of the car and given the stupid woman a good scolding. She appears to be trotting calmly behind the kid rather than hitching up her skirt and running like there is no tomorrow after that todd.

So it was a total of 4 cars that he dodged. The last one, which was the taxi, was the most dangerous, as it was likely the taxi’s view from the right would have been blocked by the car taking the video. Thank God the car that took the video has the presence of mind to honk, so as to warn everyone around him.


If the kid is a cat, he would have lost 4 of his 9 lives by now. I’m just thankful that nothing happened, that the kid is safe, and that the drivers do not have to live their lives with the trauma of having been involved in another tragedy.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this! :yikes:
Sigh... it would have been worse for your heart i assure you, if you were the driver!

How can the mother not hold on to the toddler tight on the road?? Any one of the 2 drivers had a momentary lapse in concentration (like looking at the phone or chatting and turning to passengers when doing so), would definitely end in a tragedy...
