And that attitude is the problem. It's a store, not a playground.

Nothing, nothing, nothing in the article suggests the mother approached the store as a "playground." That is your invention.

No. It's not.

Yes. It is.

5 feet away is not under Moms control.

Yes. It is. Five feet is an arm's reach away. I suppose she should have just carried him everywhere at all times.

I said no such thing. You are using emotion to argue against common sense.

You blame the mother for her child's death. Yet, you have no idea what happened. Yet, you stand in judgment of this poor woman whose 3 year old is dead due to a freak accident. I am using common sense to argue against callous judgementalism.

She didn't have the child in a cart. He wandered at least 5 feet away. What was he doing, reading "War and Peace"?

Yes. It is.

It is NOT safe to let a child wander off in an environment that you have no control over.

Yes. It is. Five feet is an arm's reach away. I suppose she should have just carried him everywhere at all times.

Your arms are 5 ft long?!

You are using emotion. This was a tragic accident that could have been avoided.
