Imagine killing your own father by being a stupid child

The stupid one is the father, who decided to procreate

sad thing is it looks like the kid woudl have made it, dad didn't get far enough. His fault for letting the kid run out like that. When you have a kid that little, in public, you hold onto him 100% of the time.

Children can be surprisingly hard to hold onto...unless you have almost a death grip on them to the point of unjuring them they can usually wiggle away if they really want to. And in the moment the Dad cannot just assume he would make it. You just run after your kid...it is the right reaction.

I mean you're not wrong but even without knowing what happened I cannot blame him really.

Kids are suicide machines, they are so quick and unexpected to get into danger. It must be hard to 100% be aware at every single second.

It does seem like they were next to a very busy road, and I've never let my toddler niece run freely in an environment like that. But my god they are slippery. Once she was in the garden and I turned around to pull a slide out of the shed and when I turned around she'd escaped through the garden bushes, ran across the road and was stood in a neighbors garden. No casualties fortunately!

Did the son live? Looks like he got run over from the angle of impact.

That kid is the anti-christ. The dad was going to put an end to the evil one, but Damian always wins.

Inhale. Exhale. Just got an ounce in the mail.
