It's a toddler's dream: locked in a world of lollipops. But the situation rapidly turned into a mother's nightmare as two-year-old Cohen Stone became trapped inside an arcade machine. Attracted by the colourful prizes of sweets and teddy bear.

Enjoy this. After all the depressing stuff.

Mother's nightmare? She doesn't look so upset. Who's holding the camera and taking the picture (look at the mirror)...

[LongElegantLegs]

Get some more quarters; I'll wait.

[A Texan]

Way to go kid!!! If you want something bad enough, don’t let a few obstacles get in your way.

“Lolly Machine”, it’s so amusing to see the Brits try to speak English.

Another kid in an arcade machine story...

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here.

I don’t get the urgency here. They have keys that will easily open the box.

It’s a little hot and stuff in there, but it’s not dangerous. It’s not like it’s the Lobster Claw Grab machine :)

I’d rather be stuck in the stuffed animal machine! The one in the story looks like one of those crappy Dumdum & plastic frog machines. This kid needs to reconsider his strategy.

[a fool in paradise]

At least in a stuffed animal machine, you can lie back and take a nap.

I call BS on all of these stories. Just because there are photos don't mean that anyone actually climbed inside of the machine through a small opening.

There are lots of staged “jealous husbands pointing a rifle at an adulterer in red undershorts while hanging on the ledge” photos in Russia.

Slow news day, I reckon.

He looks like my son when he was 2.

[Liberty1970]

I have a 2 year old that is a prime risk for something like this. ;-)

The other night he kept finding the bag of lollipops (no matter how high up in the kitchen we put them), pulling the wrappers off about ten of them and then ran around the house in a sugar-high gleeful state with a bunch of them in each hand. Talk about pure toddler joy...

[ßuddaßudd]

Im sure that was entertaing, but you may have created a monster, on a sugar high.

But the situation rapidly turned into a mother's nightmare

If that is the mother in the reflection, she doesn't look very upset.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I think it would be only right for the mother to keep popping quarters into the machine until she snags her son back.
