A two-year-old girl narrowly avoided a tragic incident, after her push-along toy rolled into the middle of a busy four-lane road in Chachoengsao. A quick-thinking passer-by alerted her father, who had been unaware of the incident.

 

On 10 February, a shocking incident in Chachoengsao was caught on a dashboard camera and later shared on social media. The video showed a toddler in a push-along toy rolling onto the busy Sirisothon Road, heading towards the New Market area in Phadrew. The post read:

 

“Today, while driving in Phadrew, I saw a child in a push-along toy roll into the middle of the road near the market. I barely had time to stop and jump out to help, along with another driver. This should serve as a reminder for parents to always keep a close watch on their children.”

 

Reporters later spoke to Mr. Adithep, 40, the father of the child, identified as two-and-a-half-year-old Print. He revealed that at the time of the incident, he had been watching television in another room while his daughter played nearby. Unaware that she had wandered outside, he only realised what had happened when a passer-by ran in to inform him.

 

According to Mr. Adithep, his daughter had been playing with two pet kittens in the push-along toy. When one of them, a black kitten, jumped out and ran away, she likely attempted to chase it. The toy then rolled down a slope in front of a nearby shop, sending her straight into the road. Fortunately, a Good Samaritan acted quickly and lifted the child to safety before any vehicles could hit her.

 

 

The area where the incident occurred is notorious for fast-moving vehicles, making the toddler’s escape all the more miraculous.

 

Mr. Adithep has since urged all parents and caregivers to never leave young children unattended, even for a moment.

 

“I’ve seen similar incidents in the news before, but I never thought it would happen to me. We were lucky this time. I want to thank the kind strangers who saved my daughter’s life,” he said.

Looks like a pillar father. Very responsible and caring. People like this should be sacked from the position of being a parent with immediate and permanent effect. Castration comes to mind.
