My child is in another room - I can't see her or what she is doing.
By your logic I have no control over my child.
You would have freaked out Saturday if you knew my daughter was 40 yards away from where we were sitting, and would occassionally drop below dock deck level by the water and totally out of sight. Of course all I oe daddy had to do was call her name and she was by my side before I even had a chance to tell her I was just checking where she was.
The kid's gonna be a track star, I swear.
You can be as immature and insulting as you like. Tell all the anecdotal stories that you wish. The bottom line is the Mom is responsible for a childs safety, not WalMart. The child was not in a cart nor was Mom watching. A 3 yr old is not old enough to judge a situations safety. Mom simply wasn't paying attention with very tragic consequences.
