I don’t know how this could happen. 2yr olds travel at light speed when you’re not watching them.
If this boy’s parents were busy taking pictures, that doesn’t say much for them as parents.
You have to watch kids like a hawk.
CBS News reports that the family of a 2-year-old boy was posing for pictures in a luxury suite high inside Staples Center when he managed to scale a clear safety barrier and fell more than 20 feet to his death, police said on Monday.
Lucas Anthony Tang suffered head injuries Sunday when he landed on rows of seats minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 117-89, police said. The boy later died at a hospital. "Somehow the child went over the edge of the section," Officer Julie Sohn said.
Police were releasing few details about the incident as they tried to determine what happened. Sohn said the boy's family was taking photographs at the time of the fall.
The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified police sources, said the toddler's family was looking at digital photographs and lost track of him. He somehow got over the top of the glass barrier, the newspaper reported. Sohn, however, said she could not confirm those details. The luxury boxes have tiers of seats, fronted by concrete walls. Atop the walls are glass barriers. The barrier varies in height but at its lowest point is about the height of an adult's waist, said Michael Roth, a spokesman for Staples and owner, AEG.
