    What's a four year old doing in a public park without adult supervision?

    If an adult was present what were they thinking letting the kid chase the mower?

    I bubble wrap the crap out of my only kid (3&1/2yr old girl). I wouldn't let let Her out of my sight for a second. Not for anything. I was raised the exact opposite and i'm amazed i survived the hundreds of ways I could have killed myself (or those around me) due to the complete lack of supervision (parents of the 70's I'm talking about you lazy sods lol). I'll confess a few - running from trains ("Stand by me" style, climbing 50m vertical cliffs without ropes, making bombs, almost used a kite for a hang glider. I could go on for ages. Like I said - its a miracle nobody from my street wasn't killed. We all did dumb shit 'cause our parents didn't care. Bow and arrow fights, surfing in lightning storms. Stealing golf balls then selling them to other golfers... The list is endless

    I seriously feel sorry for all involved in this incident. Poor little fella

    Sounds like you had a fairly normal childhood to me DiB and you survived it like most of the rest of us did.
    Kiwi Greg and distant stalker like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
