This week Connex the Melbourne rail transit authority released this video to the media and public. It was released as a warning to parents who wander around train platforms pushing strollers and prams with children in them. Fortunately, the toddler in the pram was left relatively unharmed, apparently just a few scratches to its head.

What is to blame here? Who is to blame here? I don't blame this poor unfortunate mother. I mean, she just saw her child get run over by a Melbourne train! Lets examine this more closely:

1. If Connex maintained consistency, then the train would most definitely have been delayed as it passed through this station - baby would have been left safe!
2. If fashion trends did not insist that jeans should be worn around your kneecaps, then Mother would not have had to "hoik" up her pants and let go of the pram - baby would have been safe!
3. If society in general shunned Mothers and prams in public places, particularly at bus-stops, train stations, airports (oh please yes!!!), neither Mother nor baby would have been there in the first place - baby would have been safe!

Its Connex, the Fashion industry and YOU people (society) that are truly to blame here!
