Baby Falls Under Train

Melborne, Austraila- A six-month old baby in a stroller rolled off a platform and into the path of a train. The baby and stroller were dragged 33 yards. Miraculously the baby was okay and received only a scratch on its forehead. The mother had walked onto the platform and stopped. She then had let go of the handle on the stroller and the stroller rolled off the end. The footage shows the mother trying to get to the baby but within seconds of the stroller going over the edge a train pulls into the station.

The baby boy was reunited with his mother and taken to the children's hospital. He was later released. The spokesman for the train operator, John Rees said, "It is truly a miracle that the baby wasn't killed." Channel 7 said that the incident happened just a day after the public launched a campaign warning the dangers of strollers on the platforms.

When I first read this story, I was horrified. I thought that there was know way a baby could have survived this. My heart immediately went out to the mother of that baby. Then I was immediately relieved to see that the baby had survived.

I was shocked to know that the mother had not locked the brakes on the stroller. But, who would of thought that the stroller would roll off the platform. There are so many emotions that I felt when I read this story. It is hard to describe them all. I am glad that the baby was okay. That is the best part of this whole story.
