I saw that, Pengy.  Unbelievable!

those platforms are fuckers. There was a spate of prams that got their wheels caught inbetween the train & the platforms back in the early 90's - causing death. The trains would take off without even looking. All Melbourne stations need knocking down & rebuilding with safety precautions in place

This story reminds me of when my son was about 1 and in his buggy. I had just my house and I must have been about 25 yards down the road (I live on the a long, busy road) when I realised he had dropped his toy. So I stopped the buggy and ran back, when I turn around, his buggy was in the middle of the road.

 I legged it towards the buggy to pull it off the road as a van was coming down it. Basically what had happened, the wheels of the buggy was at an angle when I had stopped it and it slipped down the slope of the drive, sideways.

 I was lucky! I still have flashbacks every so often even though he's 9 now. And reading that story make me shiver....again!

 My son and I both have flu today and he's in my bed....I just kissed him and kissed him after I read it.
