Toddler Fell Out of Shopping Cart. The Mother was in Another Aisle.

I got out of the house today to go do a few errands that I had put off doing for a few days. I was off to the post office, to the super market and of course I had to take a trip to Walmart, which is always, night or day, rain or shine, filled to the brim with shoppers of all ages and nationalities. As usual, I couldn't find a parking spot, that is until a shopper came out ready to leave. I was lucky, she wasn't parked that far from the store, but I had to wait for her to finish loading her trunk with the goods. I often wonder where the people are getting all this money they are spending here. Well, today I was only spending $10.98 plus tax. The weeds are driving me crazy, so I am force to shoot them down with chemicals. Successfully parked, I walked into the store and headed to the lawn and garden section. I got my weed killer and looked for the shortest line to jump into before I was enticed to purchase something else. I am trying to be disciplined. I found one. Just my luck, a line with two cute unattended kids. The mother had gone two aisles over, to get a magazine that she just had to have. The children were very rambunctious, as normal as sun. The toddler was unstrapped with the cart's seatbelt, so he decided to stand up and when he did that, the little brother push the cart and down came the toddler, head first. Only the screams from both children brought the mother running, following was the store manager. It appeared that the toddler was okay because his little brother broke his fall, so he didn't fall to the floor directly from the cart. I can't imagine how much more serious this situation could have been if there was no little brother to break that fall. Parent's need to obey the rules and buckle those children in their car seats or shopping cart. Wherever, just buckle those kids up!!!!!!!!!
