Thats another thing...why in the hell would someone design a place where there is no protective barrier between a speeding locomotive and people. There should be a barrier there that opens only when a train s stop to let off and on. That still does'nt excuse being vigilant. When your dead all other ifs and buts don't matter. Especially when its defenseless children. </div></div>

Biggaview the barriers you are talking about are very rare on commuter lines/subway systems--- maybe not so for where this accident occured but I can tell you in the NY metro area there is no barrier that opens between teh platform and tracks.

Unreal..this is sheer carlessness..I guess a few 100 ppl have to die before the take action...this seems to be the norm all the time..a few folks die then we take action...man I hate this.

I agree with you here. I cannot understand how a mother out alone with her kid in a pushchair would leave not have it's brakes - even for her seconds lapse in concentration.
what was she doing fixing her clothes - when the train is approaching<span style="font-style: italic">?(<span style="font-size: 8pt">Anyone who has ever been on a train platform knows that you can hear the train from far off).</span></span>

I don't know, highly suspect to me. I think that they should check her for PNdepression or other such factors in her history before they let her off the hook.

I don't knw bout PNdepression but I think she was just careless like many folks who don't think about their surroundings. Your kid should be the number one priority not fixing your cloth.

Re: Baby Run Over by Train...

perhaps its because I live in a big city with so many distractions around me but I tend to be highly aware of my surroundings at all times. when I am out with my daughter it is as if nothing else exists and my focus is pretty much on her and my immediate surroundings.

I learned from she was young that she can move her stroller by herself if I don't put on the wheel lock.

when mi stand up at the train station I am usually the only one with my back plastered against the wall while waiting for the train while everybody else katch pan the edge of the platform.

no sah, mi fraid like puss cause mad people will come up to you in the subway and push YOU on the track

Re: Baby Run Over by Train...

I always shudder when I see people pushing their babies on the train platforms or even on the trains.

I thought any responsible parent would fold the stroller prior to going on the platform and hold their child.

I am just happy that the child in that stroller wasn't a 10 year old, as they tend to push around in these parts.

I am sure she won't be doing it again, but I'd like to see the parent who kept both hands on their babies stroller at all times. She seemed to be pulling up her pants. Damn her.

Re: Baby Run Over by Train...

yup the transit here suggests that parents fold them and carry the child in hand.
