Video: Baby headbutt's Connex train - and its all YOUR fault!
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:
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!
