Lol! He definitely got yelled at!
However, our twins got into trouble with me around. They were wild!!!
Hard to believe they are almost 18 and ver sweet young ladies!
What about Fritz von Erich?
Not really? Do you have a son? And if so, did you take care of him (or them) personally? Some toddler boys are just too active (some are not) which is nothing unusual because I remember being a kid played around my younger kiddie brothers. If living in apartments she'd need to have iron screen door with tight double locks.
I suspect each of these stories (there have been some big kids inside them in the English version of these stories) are publicity stunts. I’ve never read of a single lawsuit against the business or the company that makes the machines.
Simple solution (although it too would provoke lawsuits):
When I read the headline, I envisioned a little toddler behind the pin setting machine, getting broomed with the pins, bowling balls rolling toward him.
We found it simpler to use a deadbolt with a key lock on the inside as well, and keep the keys with us.
I was starting to think I was the only one that envisioned that.
Remind you of anyone?
My brother did that when he was just a few years old. He was able to open the back door (which was a double door), walk to the side gate, open it, walk along the house and then across the street, walk half a city block including across a busy intersection. He ended up at a gas station a couple of blocks away.
All in about half an hour. I think that he was supposed to be taking a nap. Lol.
All I remember was the panic. Somehow he was reunited with us shortly after. Don’t remember how. I think that my parents might have called the police.
