I would've never run around the store like that when I was growing up.If I did,"corrective action" will be taken against me by whichever parent was with me if you know what I mean.And that would've been the last time I'd run around the store like that.
Bottom line - there are many stupid people in this world. If she decided to call the police, the footage from the security cameras wouldn't lie.

I bet that poor mom will ALWAYS remember to apply the brake after this!!!
Like the newspeople were saying, a miracle...

100% preventable.....I work with the public and i can tell you...VERY FEW parents watch their kids anymore.....they let them run wild, tehn blame anyone else when tehy get hurt...
I realize this involved a stroller, so the kid wasn't running around causing chaos, but still, the parent was not paying attention.
Case in point...a few months ago, i was at a Wal-Mart.....going along pushing a cart(our Wal-Mart still has metal carts) when this kid runs out of an aisle and into the side of the cart at full speed, falls down, and starts crying. The mother comes out of the next aisle, and instead of checking on her injured child, starts yelling at me for hitting the kid.........I told her that number one, i didn't hit your kid...he was unsupervised and ran into the side of the cart, and number two if you were taking care of your kid, none of it would have ever happened. I started to walk away and she yelled at me "aren't you going to wait for the police to get here". By this point, a crowd has gathered and the kid has gotten over the daze of running headfirst into a metal object and starts running all over the place again....I told her...go right ahead, i'll have your kid taken away for child neglect. After that, she looked at me with this stunned face and i walked away. I later spoke to one of the employees that was in that crowd of people to find out this was just one of MANY times where this same lady was ovserved not supervising her kid in the store....
Sorry about the rant...i'm just getting sick and tired of turning on the news and seeing parents going "how did this happen????" when the answer is.....watch your kids!

The lady let go of the stroller for a split second, so she could hitch up her pants.
You wouldn't think a train station platform would be sloped that much to cause the stroller to roll that quickly away. It all happened in a matter of seconds.
I think it's just lucky it rolled the way it did, and with the drop we have on platforms here (all platforms are high level in capital cities) saved the baby.
