Lucky escape for toddler who crawled out into road

A Thai man’s social media post about how he narrowly missed driving over a toddler who had crawled out into the middle of the road has been shared 7,500 times.

 

Schoolteacher Kittithorn Jadaeng said in his Facebook post that he spotted the baby as he approached the bend of a road in Uthai Thani while on his way to supervise an O-NET (Ordinary National Educational Test) examination at Banmai Klong-angwa School in Ban Rai district.

He said he later found out the baby’s mother was out at the time and the father had fallen asleep at home, so he posted the story as a cautionary tale to others.

 “The baby was almost in the middle of the road and if a car had been speeding past that spot while the baby was there, I don’t want to imagine [what would have happened],” Kittithorn said.

Common Thai "parenting  skills" but don't worry it wont  be their fault when its mowed down and don't forget the golden opportunity payout from the driver who sends  it  off.

Instead of an amulet round   the babies  neck they should have hung a  smartphone, that way  it  would be glued to the spot  for hours, buy  the latest model with a 24  hour  battery  life for maximum "babysitting"

It's only Monday, and it's already School Teachers 1 - Taxi Drivers 0.

Driver later would have said he felt a bump but didn't think anything of it?

Industrious little feller, made it all the way down that path from the house!

I swear that image of the baby crawling across the road was something I saw in a Popeye cartoon years ago.

I couldn't dig it up, but I did find the one of the blind man crossing the street.  It's at the end of the clip.  You guys with Thai wives can tell her this is what cars in the US really look like.
