And that attitude is the problem. It's a store, not a playground.

Nothing in the article suggests that the little guy was not "under control." He was 5 feet away. That is about one and a half steps. Any closer and they would have been tripping over one another.
5 feet away is not under Moms control.
To suggest that the mother deserved to lose her 3 year old because they were walking together at WalMart is beyond callous. It borders on psychotic.
I said no such thing. You are using emotion to argue against common sense.
Nothing, nothing, nothing in the article suggests the mother approached the store as a "playground." That is your invention.

Yes. It is.
5 feet away is not under Moms control.

I said no such thing. You are using emotion to argue against common sense.
You blame the mother for her child's death. Yet, you have no idea what happened. Yet, you stand in judgment of this poor woman whose 3 year old is dead due to a freak accident. I am using common sense to argue against callous judgementalism.
