WATCH: Preschooler accidentally gets dragged down by an escalator

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines – For the past months, videos of bizarre escalator catastrophes frightened plenty of parents especially in China. There are cases that children got injured or even died after getting crushed and severed by the escalator machineries. On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, a viral video taken by a local mall CCTV showing a preschooler, left unattended by his parents, had a very terrifying and heart-stopping escalator accident.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugpD3O9g-_RzgveS4AZCH8pIkpQi7w2PWZTHtee4ABN8TjLxWaeRRcV_DwGS3U_PP4TU_XuBzyg5RxRzpaDJnS7HFkmWhP6K60WWe6VGkh6IBRU3vMc1U_WG21ztJMf3HK62LMXsi3zEw/s1600/preschooler-gets-dragged-down-by-an-escalator.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Preschooler accidentally gets dragged down by an escalator" border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugpD3O9g-_RzgveS4AZCH8pIkpQi7w2PWZTHtee4ABN8TjLxWaeRRcV_DwGS3U_PP4TU_XuBzyg5RxRzpaDJnS7HFkmWhP6K60WWe6VGkh6IBRU3vMc1U_WG21ztJMf3HK62LMXsi3zEw/s640/preschooler-gets-dragged-down-by-an-escalator.jpg" title="Preschooler accidentally gets dragged down by an escalator" width="560" /></a></div><br />The 51-seconder video displays a wide-bodied man, who’s probably the father of the victim was busy minding something in a department store and left his son all alone. The boy, who was obviously not interested in his dad’s business, was fascinated by the fast-moving rubber handrails of the escalator. Amazed by it, the kid had decided to play, placed his left and right hands on the handrail, pulled it back and forth. But lo and behold, the poor boy lost his hand control and was completely overpowered by the force of the escalator. He quickly got dragged down with his whole body on top of the rubber railing. <br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-video" data-allowfullscreen="1" data-href="/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/vb.536306116545234/578153069027205/?type=3"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/578153069027205/"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/videos/578153069027205/"></a><br />BABALA po ito sa lahat ng magulang na may kasamang bata kapag nasa mall kayo, hawakan at bantayan nyo po ang inyong mga anak na bata at iwasang mag-isa sa escalator upang hindi matulad dito.. paki share na lang po..<br />Posted by <a rel='nofollow' href="https://www.facebook.com/TambayanniBERTOII/">Tambayan ni BERTO</a> on Monday, April 4, 2016</blockquote></div></div></center><br />Angels are everywhere.<br /><br />While the boy was on his way down and in danger of falling hard to the concrete and tiled lower floor, the security guard on duty, out of nowhere rushed to the boy’s rescue followed by the father all the way to the lower ground. At the end of the video, it looks like the boy was safely recovered as the people around them who hurried towards them in order to see the accident went back where they were.<br /><br />Majority of the netizens who had seen the video, put the blame on the boy’s parents because obviously it’s not a machine error but merely a human error. As guardians, we are always responsible for our children’s safety whether at home or in public places. Yes, there will be security personnel in business establishments and at parks, but leaving our kids all by themselves is really a no-brainer. They’re young, they’re curious almost about anything and we must always anticipate the perils that might come along the way anywhere and anytime. It is not only killer and terrifying escalators that we should be worried about, let us also put in our minds the lawless criminals targeting children for their personal gains.<br /><br />This is not the only incident that a kid got involved in an escalator fiasco. We’ve seen this over and over again, perhaps, hundreds of times online. We should have learned our lessons already. Always keep an eye on our little ones is the best way to prevent misfortunes for we really can’t predict what will happen if we blink our eyes. It really pays to lock sight on our children. It will surely keep them from any harm.<br /><br />Should mishaps like this happen, always get the attention of the crowd especially the marshalls for help. In case that the child is severely injured, ask the establishment staff to call their in-house medics for first aid and further medical assistance. <br /><br />Just an amicable reminder from The Summit Express. <b>- Joey Boy Capos</b></div>

Caitie’s wedding-inspired service complete with stormtroopers, confetti, pink balloons and colorful decorations was her parents Jayjay and Feliz’s way of turning over their daughter to Jesus in marriage. <br /><br />The memorial service led by Christ’s Commission Fellowship Pastor Roy Felipe started at 3pm, while the cremation process happened at 4:00pm at the Arlington Memorial Hall in Quezon City. The “wedding reception” was held at 7:30 pm.<br /><br />In one of the posts in the Facebook page Courageous Caitie, it was written:<br /><br />“We didn’t wait till she was a teenager for our mom and daughter or father and daughter dates. Didn’t wait till she was old enough to attend dance classes etc. We didn’t wait for a wedding to have her ‘dirty dancing’ lift (in a) father-daughter dance. We didn’t wait when she was old enough to travel the world. Thank you Lord for the grace that in 3 years we lived what was like 30 years. Her body was 3 but her soul lived like it was 30 years old in experience, in wisdom and beauty. I love you my daughter… Today we celebrate as we turn you over in marriage.”<br /><br />The little warrior’s ordeal with the rare form of leukemia started after her parents noticed rashes which turned into bruises in December last year. Initially, Caitie was misdiagnosed with tuberculosis last January and underwent a series of medication for it. Unfortunately, her conditioned only worsened.<br /><br />On February, her family brought her to a reputable hospital in Singapore where she was diagnosed with JML. After a three-month battle, <a rel='nofollow' href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2016/03/courageous-caitie-girl-with-rare-disease-passes-away.html">Courageous Caitie succumbed to her disease</a> on Thursday, March 31.<br /><br />Her happy disposition and unbelievable display of courage despite her difficult and painful situation has attracted thousands of followers and donors on her Facebook page. With over 300,000 likes as of this writing, Caitie’s short but well-lived life has truly inspired thousands of netizens. <br /><br />Watch the equally heartwarming and heartwrenching farewell video of Courageous Caitie. <br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WOoBJJdA-FA" width="560"></iframe></center><br /><b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

Instead, the vice presidential aspirant and the driver’s conversation revolved around the latter’s family.<br /><br />Moreover, Robredo treated the driver with a cheeseburger ordered from a drive-thru at fast food restaurant McDonald’s.<br /><br />Before parting ways with Robredo, the driver told her: “Kayo po ang iboboto ko.”<br /><br />In response, the female solon smiled back and thanked the driver.<br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://web.facebook.com/wadofever/posts/10153628457990369" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://web.facebook.com/wadofever/posts/10153628457990369">So yung Uber ko ngayon ang naghatid kay Leni sa bus terminal nung umuwi siya sa Bicol.

Once I see myself higher than them, that will be my downfall,” Robredo explained.<br /><br />When asked if she would still be willing to take the bus in the event that she is elected vice president, Robredo told reporters: “Oo naman.
