In reply to the discussion: mom perches baby on ledge to take pic, baby falls to death, mom suing Staples Center [View all]ejpoeta
(8,933 posts)47. my kids stand up in the cart. not that I want them to. but i guess the difference is
that I would not blame the store if i put my kid in the back of the cart and they stood up and ended up getting hurt. the only time I could see it is when I can't find a cart with a seat belt in it. My little one kept climbing up every time I'd turn for a minute to put something in the cart. I did say something to the workers there, not a threat just letting them know that they might want to fix the seat belts in the carts.
My sister used to work at the service desk at walmart and was safety manager. she'd tell me all kinds of stories. walmart is another store it's hard to find a seat belt that isn't broken. But Abby can climb up even with the seatbelt now.

The mother put the kid on the ledge. Deliberately. Then let go to take a picture.

She will not win. The case will be thrown out, but the wingers will complain anyway.

Seats at Dorothy Chandler are like that. tilted steeply upward so everyone can see. One wrong step

I appreciate the circle of life and all that, but, I think it's gross when it involves pets.

Maybe another relative of the child could sue her for wrongful death and negligence.
