Yesterday, I was supposed to attend a meeting set in a resto inside Robinson's Dasma. When i entered the mall, it was noticeably crowded that i thought there was a very long queue in the lottery section. I first thought that the lottery pot have come high again to a hundred million pesos for such crowd to gather. But then afterwards, i learned that a freak accident happened few minutes ago. A child fell from the 3rd floor of the mall and land directly face-flat on the groud floor. Upon hearing the story, it was then that i saw the pool of blood on the floor caused by the accident. It was really freaky. Who could ever imagined that as you were walking window shopping on a mall, a child would be dropping from the higher floors infront of your face? Or that while you were busy shopping, unmindful of the child you brought with you, suddenly you heared commotion, only to realize that it was your child who had an accident.
I couldn't get myself to think about it. The thought just makes me shiver.
As i continue to roam around the mall, i noticed how the story of the accident evolve from one person's version to another's. From what seemed to be the most accurate version to the most bizarre. Which leave me thinking, that unless you have really seen the actual event, every info you gather in an incident will just be a hearsay.
For all its worth, I think this is also a warning to other parents out there. Dont just leave your children unattended inside a mall. A lot of things may happen to them as this is a public place. While you are busy shopping, please do check on your kids from time to time.
