Toddler dies in escalator accident



MANILA (2ND UPDATE) - A three-year-old boy named Ivan died yesterday after figuring in an escalator accident at the 999 Mall in Binondo, Manila last Monday, February 24.

According to a family friend and neighbor Jennilyn, she was with Ivan and his mother looking at the shoe stalls on the 2nd floor when the accident occurred.

Jennilyn said the boy let go of her mother's hand and played near the escalator.

She said Ivan's mother glanced at him before going back to looking at the shoes.

A few minutes later, Jennilyn said she heard a loud noise followed by some people yelling that a child fell.

She said she was unable to move for about five minutes because of shock. She later found out that Ivan was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Jennilyn said she was told that Ivan's hand got stuck in the escalator and he was dragged to the first floor.

Police, however, said the child's hand did not seem to have been stuck in the escalator floor. However since he was playing at the edge of the escalator, the motion of the floor dragged him down.

Ivan fell into a coma after sustaining head injuries. He passed away in the hospital past 7 am yesterday, February 26.

The mall's owners have provided financial assistance to the family although Ivan's mother admitted that she also shares the blame for what happened.

She said she wishes malls would be safer for kids like Ivan and that this incident will never happen to any family again.

Ivan's parents plan to take his remains to the province where the boy will be laid to rest.

Yeah... I feel sorry for her... but WHO THE **** LEAVES THEIR ****ING THREE YEAR OLD PLAYING BESIDE AN ESCALATOR?!?

I mean... holy ****ing ****, how ****ing careless do you have to be to let that happen?!?

Stupidity of the mother leaving her child unattended and have the guts to pass part of the blame to the mall. This mother should be shot by firing squad. Who brings a toddler in a crowded & jammed mall only to leave it unattended. Surely she's a jolog, no wonder why.

grabe nangyari sobrang likot cguro nung bata umakyat sa escalator rubber handrail and boom! madalas sa mga bata pilit na pinapasok ung sapatos nila o tsinelas sa 5mm gap ng escalator stairs and railings kaya naiipit ung shoes o tsinelas or worst ung paa nila.

Some people do not deserve to become parents.

Blame the mall for not baby sitting her child so she can buy her shoes.....

ang mga taong tulad niyan ang hindi karapat dapat binibigyan ng anak!
sa tagal ng mga escalator sa pilipinas wala akong alam na puwede pala maging palaruan sa mga bata yan.
tatlong taon pinabayaan mo,
puwes magdusa ka! hunghang!

Best to leave the kid at home if you cannot keep an eye on him...

She said she wishes malls would be safer for kids like Ivan and that this incident will never happen to any family again.

sa 2nd floor din nahulog ung bata dyan sa video sir galing lang nga sa ground floor. can't believe nagawa yan ng bata na kumapit sa handrail.

[kik0matsing]

Hayzz. Ako ung anak ko hindi ko hinahayaang mawala sa paningin ko lalo na kapag nasa mall kame. Tinde kaya kaba ko lage kaba nawawala siya sa paningin ko kahit saglet tsaka tinatanong ko sino kasama nya. Ung tipong nasan na si yurie(my sons name) sino kasama nya mga ganun ba. Call me paranaoid at least I am aware and very protective lalo bata pa tsaka normal naman un anak mo eh.
Kaya ingat ingat lang lalo na malikot mga bata talaga. . .

Kung sa america nangyari ito pwede kumita yung parents maghahanap ng loopholes.

Naisip ko kung bawat escalator eh meron nagmamasid na security guard para kung meron man suspicious looking at mga bata nawawala or naglalaro eh madali masita or iradio sa concierge.

very costly yan sir lalo na isa o dalawa lang ang assigned na roving guards sa mall.... sa entrances lang cguro or maybe ung inhouse escalator technician could help monitor.

Parents should'nt let their kids run wild in malls, period. Apart from their kids' safety, common courtesy lang yan to the shops and to other shoppers. Yung ibang kids kung maglalaro, parang di na nakikita ang ibang tao, nanunulak pa. Yung nanay/tatay dedma. Sarap pag uuntugin ng ulo. No risk of brain damage since both are obviously filled up with sh_t.
