Staff on-site administered first aid to the child while waiting for the paramedics to arrive. "We are working closely with the tenant to ascertain the details of the incident," said the spokesman.

Victor68 Turbocharged August 25, 2019 Share August 25, 2019 I think shops.should review installations that pose safety issue with kids. Not all shoppers are adults although the guardians should also be responsible for their own care. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to run around and play hide-and-seek hiding behind display rack and I always stop them from doing so.. RIP 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly speaking, no one knows exactly what happens in the store. Everyone is just speculating here and there on social media. It might be the parent's fault and it might be the store's fault. Best to let the law decide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged August 27, 2019 Share August 27, 2019 Some shops have this racks filled to the brim with glass wares or canned foods. All it takes is a kid to pull one of the items and they will fall off. I think they should avoid stacking so high and the heavier items at the lower racks.

Children love to play in any stores, even in supermarket and foodcourt. They can be seen running and chasing each other. 🙄 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
