Another negligence claimed the life of an innocent 3 year old. He was accidently left in the car by his dad, who went around completing errands, sempat minum2 lagi. I can't imagine his guilt. Having to live with that for the rest of ur life. It could even cause him his marriage. But yg tak I rasa sangat la tidak patutnya, all the comments that follow suit. Dah dalam FB kan, banyak lah keypad warrior nye. Most of them are youngsters, kalau ikut kata my friend yg vulgar sikit ni, kencing pun tak lurus lagi. But yeah, it's always easy to make judgment of the errors of others. It's not us who have to live with the sorrow, sadness, heartbreak of losing a child. As a mother, i rasa the words sorrow and sadness tu pun tak boleh nak justify the amount of your pain. Anak you tak ada depan you dah kot. Patah hati, sayu, pilu, hanya Allah yg Maha Tahu. And what's gonna make it worst, in your head, you would be playing, over and over again, your child's painful last hour before he dies. At moments like this, only janji Allah yg dia akan menguji kita dengan sedikit ketakutan, kehilangan anak dan harta benda, that is the only thing that could perhaps keep you sane. Because other than that, how can all these make sense?
It is however, not a license that we, as parents could take things for granted. Mata kena everywhere bila ada anak ni. I tell you, berapa kali darah i menyirap tahap lemah lutut bila Em suddenly, elok2 setengah milisecond sebelum tu berrdiri sebelah I masa i sibuk melipat stroller Ai, and the next thing I know, she's standing behind a reversing car. Or, like what actually happened at a fren's condo, she was standing on a chair menjenguk over the verandah from the 8th floor. I froze in terror, and it was a my fren Jill's good reflexes ( being a mom herself) that prevented on what I would not even dare to imagine.
So sense of alertness mmg kena tahap gaban bila ada anak. With regards to the unfortunate parents,as much as their judgment could be questioned, to me it is just an unfortunate incident that no parents would want to go through.
But how about dumb mistakes done by parents out of sheer stupidity rather than negligence? i have witnessed Malaysian parents do far worse stupid things with their kids. Sapa tak penah tgk mak/bapak bawak keta with anak atas riba? Or let the child stand on the passenger seat while they
drive?
Itu kalau nak kutuk, silakan, because that deserves dumb parents award of the century.
Have you ever thought what would happen if the car suddenly come to a jolt? That your precious innocent child would be crushed to death to the wheels? Or, in the case of standing child, would easily be thrown out of the car? You don't have to learn /understood the concept of inertia to get that simple fact. i am sure at least once in your life you have had experience being a passenger in a car which suddenly brakes. Tu kita yg mass boleh tahan ni, imagine anak kecil.
Apparently, many people do need "Common Sense for Dummies" guidebooks. That is perhaps the tragedy of many Malaysian parents.
