Nieces and nephews mainly, and they are very well behaved in and out of public. No running around stores, I hear yes 'mam, no 'mam, please and thank you.
Other peoples kids, I usually can't tolerate due to their parents indulgence spoiling them. I prefer kids that mind. Too much can happen to them or others when they don't.
Question: Who would be at fault if a three year old child ran into an adult, tripping them and causing them to hit their head on some ornamental work at WalMart..lets say the adult died. Is Walmart at fault, the kid, or the parent?
You can come up with a million scenarios...
I feel accidents happen ... we have no idea what the scenario is - why the child was not in the cart... maybe he was - she pulled him out to try on clothes.
It is so silly to be arguing this when there are no facts. We have no idea if this horror could have been prevented. As you read through the thread - people are talking about the child pulling the mirror over ... we don't know that. I do wonder about a mirror that could topple so easily - obviously it wasn't secured properly for a public place.
Those who've said have total control of their kids every single second of the day are living in a fantasy world. Of course being careful and watchful of your children is the parents responsibility - but accidents do happen.
I do find it interesting you blame your grandfather for your incident with the shopping cart.
