Toddler injured after taking ride on conveyor belt at Atlanta airport

A 2-year-old boy was injured after he sneaked past an airport counter and ended up on a baggage conveyor belt, according to his mother and airport officials.

The boy's mother, Edith Vega, set him down for a moment on Monday afternoon to print out a boarding pass at a kiosk near the Spirit Airlines counter at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport when the toddler took off, Vega told ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB-TV.

"There's no parents with him"


Ya don't say

[kelseyl]

People talk shit about those kid leashes but one of those could have prevented this

[thegreatlemmon]

Don't they sell leashes for kids like dogs? I'm pretty sure they do now

[Honeypepper.]

if you know you are an absent minded parent get a kinderkord or toddler leash and harness for your child's safety!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[janethuffman]

I think people tend to forget how fast a two year old can be. No parent is perfect and people shouldn't be so judgemental.

[CindyRamirez-glpk]

And people wonder why their children get kidnapped, parents don’t watch their children and let them run around like wild animals. You see it every day in the stores. Then they want to act surprised when something happens.

[teresabarras]

That's no excuse. You don't put your child down in an airport, ever!!!!

[thehightowerbeats]

New headline. PARENTING HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. DADS AND MOMS DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR KIDS ENOUGH TO WATCH THEM. TONIGHT AT 5.

[normavillanuevamendoza]

🤔😡 when kids go off like this it’s cause parents don’t watch them closely ....I hate parents like this! They think😡 it’s a playground or a place for us to watch over their kids 😡😡

[definitiveentertainment]

When my kids get stowed in a bag they know better than to crawl out and make a scene on the conveyor belts..
I mean come on people!

[texasstar]

I don't get how you lose sight of your kids in public places especially with all the bad news these days about them going missing or killed 🤔🤦‍♀️

[BunnyRabbit_iris]

Parents are no longer attentive lool, I just watched a new story of a little girl getting hit by a bisons horns and the parents got up outta there

[thania]

Why in the hell the parents were not keeping an eye on the kid.

[alexrmz]

It's no one's fault. Just an accident. I've put my 2 yr old down and taken my eyes off him for a split second and he's off running. I'm glad nothing to serious happened

[jenntip]

WTF?!?!? Parents you have one job until they're 18....DO IT!!!!

[realsuperchanchan]

Girl you know your child that's why I sit my son at the counter cause I know if my 17 year old is not around or his father he will be gone

[robinfoxworthy]

This is the news that makes me so mad! Keep a closer eye on your child!

[jrbland]

She should have been watching him more closely or holding his hand.
