Baby survives after falling under train

A six-month old baby miraculously lives after his stroller rolled into the tracks of an incoming train last Thursday. This accident was captured CCTV and the footage shows the mother momentarily letting go of the stroller. The stroller then rolled over the platform and almost immediately after a train rolls into the station. The stroller with the baby inside were rolled 33 yards up the track before the train came to a stop. But the baby is unbelievably okay! He managed to come out of it with just a cut on the forehead. The baby was quickly reunited with his mother who took him to Melbourne's Royal Children's hospital, but was later discharged. Victoria State Police Sergeant Micheal Ferwerda says, "Parents especially need to be vigilant especially with toddlers."

I think this is a miracle! To live after being in the tracks of oncoming train! And to come out of it with just a cut on your forehead is almost unbelievable. I hope the mother of this baby will be more careful in the future. I hope parents everywhere are more responsible of their toddlers, especially at train stations. I would hope that nothing like this would ever happen again, because the outcome could most definitely be worse. It would be a great idea to set up campaigns to make people more aware of the dangers of train stations. I know this incident happened in Melbourne, Austrailia, but it could happen anywhere.
