I saw something that shocking me a bit, yesterday. A local news said that apparently, many "escalator caused" accidents happened nowadays. The saddest truth is that most of the victims are children. Some of them had permanent wounds, and some must lose their fingers, or even lost their life. What a heartbreaking fact.
In the news, most of parents blamed building management for the accident. Well, indeed there's an indication of building management's negligence, only not in every case. I feel deeply sorry for those little victims and their parents. But, IMHO, if you're looking who's to blame, then the right answer is simply their parents. I mean, how did those children play around or on the escalator without supervision? Parents shouldn't let their children playing around without supervision, in particular at public areas like malls. I've seen lots of children running through the escalator up and down at malls. Their parents? Dunno. I didn't see them around.
A child is an entrusted gift from God. They aren't ours, yet we're obligated to take care of them until they grow up. So parents, please take a good care of your precious gift, your children. May this regretful accident be a learned lesson to us.
