Toddler trapped in toy vending machine. How the heck . . .

does stuff like this happen? I don't have a toddler, but if I did, I guess I wouldn't take him to Wal-Mart at 3:30 in the morning, and if I did take him to Wal-Mart (at any time of day) I'd keep a close enough eye on him that he wouldn't climb inside vending machines. What the heck?

James played with the toys while his mom
and some firefighters worked on getting him out.

1. Meth?

Going to wal-mart at 3:30 AM and having something like that happen...drugs may have been invovled.

3. I disagree completely

A lot of people work odd/off hours. I have done it for several years. So 03:00 is like 15:00 for me when I worked those hours. Don't assume drugs, just check first if the adult involved may be working late shift. I'm just sayin'.

4. and because her baby is in a toy machine...

and it was in a part of the country where meth use is most common. just sounds fishy.
It was meant to be a flippant remark so you aren't obligated to take it seriously.

5. Point taken

I don't know much about those areas. And I meant no disrespect. I just hate it when people make assumptions (like I did).

2. When a kid is up at 3:30 in the morning, you do whatever you can

LOL! What a naughty little fellow, huh? Looks like he wasn't feeling too worse for wear because of his cold.

7. The way the article is worded

it makes it sound like Mom was right there when he climbed into the machine.

:wtf:

No way any of my kids are just allowed to climb onto/into whatever they want!
