Oh no. The story I heard on the radio this morning made it sound like it was more like a teen and that he’d survived.
What a tragedy.
Horrific. Parents were probably trying to give their child an enjoyable evening, and it ends in tragedy. Terribly sad.
This is horrible. May the Lord give the family peace.
If you don’t live in California and your mind doesn’t readily think Sports Arena, the headline suggests this happened at an office supply store.
Its hard to hear news like this. What a shame. These parents will be second guessing themselves and their actions for the rest of their lives.
How tragic! You can’t take your eyes off a toddler for one second.
Our granddaughter is a 13-month-old toddler. They require constant watching every single second. May God give the family comfort in this horribly difficult time.
Oh my gosh, how horrible. Prayers
A couple of snippets of information from other news sources:
“KTLA-TV says it’s believed the child was taking pictures when he plunged to the concrete floor. “
“The Los Angeles Times, citing unnamed people familiar with the case, says the parents of Lucas Anthony Tang of Garden Grove had been searching for him when they learned he had fallen Sunday night.”
When my kids were little, places where you could fall over like this scared me to death. I’m already afraid of heights myself, and I would have nightmares of my kids climbing out windows or over railings and falling to their deaths, unaware of the dangers.
The fall occurred Sunday as 2-year-old Lucas Anthony Tang was taking pictures with his family in a skybox with a glass safety barrier that varies in height but is at least several feet high, police Officer Julie Sohn said.
I was just in the Staples Center last week. Very sad. I wonder what they can even do to prevent something like this.
On a separate note, the Staples Center reminds me of some kind of “class” system. I had 4th row floor seats, yet I felt like a low class peon, with THREE TIERS of “royal” luxury boxes around the edges. Sorry, but it’s a bit much. The “In crowd” seems to be bigger than the “Losers in Loge.” Sheesh.
I’m so sorry for the child and his family.
I actually get nightmares about falling out of stadium seating. I guess the danger I’ve feared is all too real.
Dreadful. RIP.
