False Dichotomy: You are stating either he was reading war and piece or he was running around playing... Maybe, just maybe he was looking at a toy near the Mirror, maybe taking it off the shelf but not in a manner that is 'playing'.
What control did she have of WalMart?!
The question could be asked what control does walmart have over how well it secures heavy objects in its kids department
Fact is we don't know who's, if anyones, fault this it. Freak accidents happen, even to perfect parents like you be careful in what you boast because, Lord forbid, someday you or someone you love might need a compassionate friend after such an accident..
There are no mirrors in the toy dept.
From the article: Police said Christopher Antonio was apparently playing near the 5-foot-tall mirror in the children's section of the store
Freak accidents happen
She wasn't looking at him.
From the article: The mother told police she was about 5 feet away from her son when she heard a loud crash.
Tragically, she wasn't looking. All it takes is one split second for a tragedy.
Did you notice in the article, where it says she was about five feet away when she HEARD a crash? She didn't see anything. Maybe if she was looking at her kid she would've actually seen what was about to happen.

I'm still here, I made it to 21 because my mom kept an eye on me. Both my brothers are still in perfect health because mom made sure we all behaved. My oldest brother keeps a hawk eye on his little girl now, just like my mom did with us.
"war and piece"? Sounds like a porno flick.
