A Deadly Game
Just to share an incident caught on video clip.....
About one very tragic accident no parent could possibly forsee....
Good thing we've social media to educate you and me...
A moment of harmless fun between a son and his father..
An instant later, the loving father must shoulder forever...
The blame and the excruciating pain of being his son's killer....
It's tragic but we should be grateful for social media...
Somewhere in China a father is in deep grief so other children may yet live...
It's so sad but let all of us beware, harmless fun & games can be deadly at times...
In this videoclip, somewhere within a shop in China...
A loving father engaged his 4year old boy in casual play...
He had his hands behind, grasping lovingly his son's hands..
He was the engine head, his son was being pulled along as a train...
Laughingly the little boy baulked and slowed down his father's pace..
The hapless father faltered and staggered a little, tried to maintain his balance...
He fell backwards ackwardly, heavily and horrors, it was most deadly...
There must have been a sickening crunch as he fell upon his boy's head..
When he got up to his feet hurriedly, his son laid inert, limp and dead..
Turned out the unlucky boy has his neck broken, it was an instantaneous death...
What follows next, you see a devastated father craddling the limp body of his son..
Tragedy has struck, a father is to grieve for a lifetime, as a killer of his very own son....
