Oh man I hate to read stuff like this... as a dad it really really gets to me.
Poor kid and poor family.

I hesitated in posting that link because I knew it would cause profound anguish amongst TB'ers in general and parents in particular.

But there was no way out of it. If I didn't post the link and something like this befell a member of TB's extended family...

What happened to that child underscores the need for heightened vigilance amongst all supervising adults--and the need for better time management.

If one is setting out with youngsters in tow, please leave early enough so that one won't have to beat the clock--ever.

There will always be more trains etc to catch but there will only be one (insert the name of your child).
