Hes still a baby himself, toddlers dont have a full understanding of danger until they are 4-5 years old, they may know that hot stuff and fire is dangerous but kids are going see fun in danger
So glad that the children didn't get seriously injured. The man who protected them was a hero and hopefully, this taught the mother to never leave a very young child to supervise another very young child again!
@@gamingrating1612 yeah, although the mom wasnt entirely wrong, i mean she knew the 3 year old was pretty obidient cautious and inteligent, she's still was at fault for being irresponsible however, just because one of your kids is surprisingly cautious or smart, dont mean you should put him to babysit his brother.
Who the hell lets a 3 year old and 1 year old play outside ALONE?!? I would never let my 3 year old nephew out of my sight let alone go wandering outside and in charge of a baby! What was that mom thinking!?! She is so lucky, it could of been so much worse.
I think that letting children play outside alone is 100% fine even though most people seem to think that you need to watch them 24/7 until they turn 16 these days. But there is letting kids play outside in the yard or at the park unsupervised and then there is putting a 3 year old in charge of a 1 year old when there's a train going by your house.
What a stupid stupid woman she says she's nervous about living close to the railway track and hopes the kids never go there ! THEY ARE ONLY 1AND 2 YEARS OLD YOU IDIOT. You were very lucky and CPS should have had a strong warning given to her. ,
Exactly what I was thinking. I guess it must have been pretty cheap since it's right next to the tracks. My grandma lived about a mile from the tracks when I was little. It was loud that far away. I can't imagine it being 100 yards from the house!
Double shocker for me. FIRST you watch your babies all the time, million times more if living by train tracks. THEN SECONDLY she begs them to wait for her husband to get there cause she can't do it alone????? Wow, that floored me..!!!! Hubby can meet her at the hospital..!! What the hell lady..?!?!
What was that child doing on the railway?! How is it possible, that mother didnt has eye on that child?! I really dont know, what a mother is that woman. I think, she has to be punished for that.
Well kids do move faster than you think BUT that is not that I condone or excuse the mother as I am a mostly stay at home dad and you would not believe the trouble the kids get into literally "in the next room" (like when all you are trying to do is take a shower) OR if in the yard one kid will "RUN FOR THE ROAD" when playing outside and you will be like "Where's ______?" Bottom line even tough there are rules, kids forget them such as "no running in the house." (I tell my kid that all the time) or to "Only stay in the back yard" (when we are all playing in the back yard) and yet 5 minutes later they might be running to the front yard where the busy road is because they have no concept of consequences.
Make sure kids are in a safe place outside the paramedics and firefighters deserve a lot of credit your service is deeply appreciated thanks to everyone on rescue 911 your service is deeply affected keep them safe out there way to go ! Joe
Dear God... who in their sane mind would leave a 3-year old watch over a 1-year old?! Neither have the mind to tell what's dangerous and what's not, let alone what to do if something happens. Thank God both kids were alright, in the end and nothing actually serious happened to them. That lady could have lost both of them. Not to mention the conductor could _also_ also have suffered serious injuries or died, as well. And all because of one irresponsible mother. The little ones didn't know any better to handle themselves, out there. It was _her_ who should be watching over _both_ of them. Keep the kids inside while you put the groceries away and _then_ take them outside to play. That's what i would have done if I were her. God bless that brave conductor for protecting those two babies with his life. God bless.
What a stupid, neglectful mother. No, this was not a mistake anyone could make. Any mother with a brain is not going to leave a baby and a 3 year old outside by themselves, especially when they are near train tracks. She is very lucky that she didn't lose both her boys. She seriously did not deserve to be a mother.
Accidents happen every day. Shit happens that isn't always in our control. But THIS.... this was plain and simple neglect... PERIOD! This was completely avoidable.
I was wondering that, too. When I was 3 my parents lived in a house by the trains tracks, too but I wouldn't have dreamed of playing on the tracks. I think the average 3 year-old knows playing on a railroad track could be detrimental to their health and if they're on the track and there's a train coming toward them blowing the horn I can't imagine what 3 year-old wouldn't get themself and their baby brother off of the tracks as soon as they saw the train.
If i were the mother, i would have kept the children inside while i was putting the groceries away. Groceries put away, then WE would all go Outside and play. Who the hell let's their small children play Outside with train Tracks near by? 99 percent of this "accident" was caused by the mother's stupidity......yet notice how she puts blame on other factors? If I were the husband I would have divorced her.
That's correct. Always put your children inside the house first while unloading groceries and other merchandise out from your vehicle or you'll never know where your kids are heading at before they get hurt even you
"What's crazier is now days it happens more then what it did back then" Bullshit. Nowadays the cops come for you if your kids are walking home from school without an adult escort.
I see the comments saying the mother being should be watching the kids true but theres something else that could have prevented this even better and that would be fencing off the tracks to stop people going onto them, here in the UK it is done around pretty much every railway line
So after leaving the kids outside when she knows there's train tracks nearby, said Scott was a child who was fearless and unpredictable, she then let's them play in the street, she then wants them to wait to take the injured baby to the hospital until her husband got there.... Why?
My son (then 3.5) is not one to listen and we were at my brother's. He bought my niece a Drone and we were flying it and we told him "stay out of the street" and no matter how many times we told him he kept chasing it out into the road and this was with the supervision of a 12 year old, 34 and 36 year old. So she leaves the kids ALONE? My Parents used to let us ride on our side street but not until we were like 7 or 8 and we had like 10 kids on the street so there were always kids and at least one parent outiside watching the street from one of the families.... This , well this was just neglectful. My mom at these kids age we had a "Turkey wire" "Kid Kennel"my dad built that we stayed in that kept us in our yard if we wanted out of the car but not inside we were in that play area safe and sound !!!!!
I was born in 1978. Yes, many things were different. However, different doesn't mean better. In the 80's and 90's abductions, deaths, abuse, neglect were localized, because the internet didn't exist. Cell phones and car phones were rare. Crime was actually higher then, and most parents on this show dealt with a very lax CPS system.
I think the fact that she left two babies outside alone was the problem. That was incredibly stupid. Usually I hate when people blame parents for accidents as I know how kids get into stuff. But this was so freaking negligent the mother should have faced charges and made to take parenting classes. She left them by a road too they could’ve been hit by a car as well. It’s not like the kids snuck out or climbed over or under a fence. She purposely left them outside alone.
20PINKluvr At that age (3 years old) children are unable to comprehend impending danger. They may hear the horn and even see the train coming, but are unable to realize it's coming right at them.
My brother is 3 if he heard that train horn it wouldn't scare him I think he would run towards it instead he loves trains and the sound of the horn also if he did see it toddlers tend to freeze when something is coming towards them they scream and jump but tend to not runaway
The mother is going on about how the older son is very cautious, but when there is a huge train coming on the track he is playing on and the conductor is yelling at him his play is much more important to him than that huge scary thing coming towards him with a guy yelling frantically at them to get the heck out of there.
I cannot believe this happened 5 minutes from my town! And where is the parent during this time?! You do not let a 3 yro and 1yro go play and lose sight of them! Especially near the tracks.
What I don't understand, even if the oldest was only 3, how he couldn't have put 2+2 Together and maybe Realize that The SOUND OF THE HORN MIGHT BE A WARNING!?
+ali xena My mom did the same thing when she was a little kid. She was older then these two boys, however she didn't really understand how dangerously close she was to the passing train. For those saying how stupid the kids were.... they were babies!
Not the one we did. He not only was alive after being hit by a train but he woke up while we were on the scene treating him. He started screaming and begging us to let him die because of how bad the pain was, and this was a person who had walked in front of the train on purpose hoping to kill himself.
No. They air stories like this to educate people who don't know any better or who are just simply too stupid to think logically. The whole show "Rescue 911" was to promote the 911 system as it was just emerging in this day.
All parents always keeps an eye on their children before they get hurt even you. You never know where your children are heading at especially when they're outside playing
In this day and age she would have lost both of her kids to Social Services no doubt. She made a mistake to let her kids outside by themselves at that age. Did I think she's a bad mother? No but I do believe this was a learning experience for her. She could have lost a child or even worse both of them. She has God to thank for watching over her 2 kids that day.
You should NEVER play on or near the train tracks. A train with that much weight takes over a mile to stop. And there is not enough clearance or view in front for the conductor/conductors to see in front. What an irresponsible parent!
The thing is, a lot of people have misconceptions about trains and ships and think that they can stop like cars. The sad thing is, they don't. A train with only a literal handful of cars and one loco has a stop distance measured in fractions of a mile. This is with the emergency breaks mind you. With ships, it goes from 'moderate-sized trains' to 'those multi-mile long trains' in terms of stop distance. It still plagues the world today. The only reason that I knew better was that I was fascinated by trains since I was a tot.
I was abused as a young child and almost killed a couple of times by my abuser. Between the ages of 4-8. I lived in constant terror every day of what horrible thing was going to happen next. Basically dreading each moment. I think that made me terribly aware that bad things can and will happen and you should expect them. I always watched my kids and protected them to excess probably. I have a hard time understanding how people can be oblivious to the things that can happen when you don't know where your child is for 15 seconds. I was always so cautious. I wonder what it's like to be so unaware. Even before i had kids, i would see news stories or watch shows like this that showed exactly what could happen. This show makes you realize an emergency has to be happening practically every moment. How can people think they're immune?
What a hero the train guy is awesome, that mother is disgusting first she leaves babies outside near train tracks no fence then she asks the paramedics to wait for her husband, disgusting woman.
Lesson learned: don’t be a horrible parent like the one as shown and let your kids out of your sight. I see it all the time and it bugs me to no end. Even when I’m at Walmart, I see a couple shopping to find groceries, and their little child is just following 10 feet behind struggling to keep up, vulnerable to get kidnapped.
Literally: DUMBEST. MOTHER. EVER!!! Mother: I have 2 toddlers. We live near train tracks. I need to put up these groceries. Have fun outside, boys!! When you come back inside I have a gun I’ll let you play with. Little Johnny is so cautious. I know he can be trusted. He’s all of 3 years old! NO COMMON SENSE WHATSOEVER!!
Saying that things were done differently ‘back then’ is absolutely no excuse - the dangers could not have been any more apparent. The woman was irresponsibly neglectful. She was damn lucky to not only still have both her boys, she is also lucky the boys’ rescuer was not injured or killed himself. I found this to be unbelievably disturbing to watch.
I don't care where you live, you DON'T leave a 3 year old to watch over a 1 year old - especially when you know that 1 year old is "fearless". Unbelieveable!
I know having a child doesn’t come with an instruction and safety manual, but I think a lot of child safety and child rearing is just common sense. Geeze, toddlers + 300 feet to train tracks + train tracks + no adult supervision = disaster waiting to happen. And afterward those parents start giving the rest of us advice when the vast majority of us would never have let our toddlers be vulnerable in the first place! There’s just nothing in me that wants to be sympathetic or understanding about the actions of those really negligent parents. Huge big SHAME ON YOU!
i wish this miracle would of happened to my friend devlin may 18 2016 he was walkin the tracks and got hit by the wedgr and thrown he was killed on scene
Watching this episode with my brothers was a lesson well learned to not play on the train tracks while the train is approaching and my brother Bob said to me what kind of a mother would let their children let their children may I add that to my list of no-nos he saidwould say
"The only thing I can say to other mothers is...." How about watch your kids? Everyone makes mistakes. I wasn't even mad at her until the end when she said that. No. Take some responsibility.
Those children were too young to be left alone outside for any period of time!!!! 😡😠😧 Yea and "other moms don't wait, put up a fence" so you can leave your very young children unsupervised.😡 Hey at least they will be contained when they get injured in the fenced yard.. 😒😒😒 Thank God they survived. Brave engineer..
She should have took them in the house to play while she unloaded the groceries. Children and playing on the railroad tracks are extremely dangerous and absolutely not safe at all. People have to understand that trains are super powerful and can tear a car apart and can kill a person if they are not aware of them. Be extremely careful around railroad tracks and trains.
All of you that are hating the mother give her a break. It was an accident and kids are always so curious and can sneak off to do dangerous things they never done before. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes so you guys picking on the mother thinks that you never make and never will make mistakes but it is not like any of you are perfect either since you're all human! I know when I graduate from university in 2 years I will have kids too and I know that they might get themselves in dangerous situations. Parents can't watch their children all the time and kids are fast and curious so accidents happen!
***** Excuse me? I'll have you know that I'm an 19 year old girl with a very successful life and going to university next month. Unlike you I don't have time for silliness so back to your parent's basement with you!
That train conductor clearly saved that baby's life
"Miraculously neither boy was seriously injured" - no miracle here, the hero working on the train saved both their lives.
''What was the worst thing you did as a child...?''''Oh nothing bad, just getting hit by a train.''
that guy is a hero he risked his life for the baby I respect him
They were lucky that conductor was so damn brave, not that it's the kids' fault. Why would you trust a baby to a baby?
Indeed and because the older one was more responsible but this shows he was still a child
You have any idea how old they are , the mother should be paying more attention definitely when you are near train tracks, that aqument does not work
Hes still a baby himself, toddlers dont have a full understanding of danger until they are 4-5 years old, they may know that hot stuff and fire is dangerous but kids are going see fun in danger
What a hero that man was. Sad there aren't more people like him around
So glad that the children didn't get seriously injured. The man who protected them was a hero and hopefully, this taught the mother to never leave a very young child to supervise another very young child again!
Why do parents leave their kids unattended. Especially outside and next to a train track. Smh.
that the one thing that irriates me the most of this show is many of these are avoidable if parents did there job as parents
A 3 year old is totally responsible enough to babysit an infant. DERP
I would say that a kid would have to be at least 5 years old to babysit a younger child.
@@gamingrating1612 yeah, although the mom wasnt entirely wrong, i mean she knew the 3 year old was pretty obidient cautious and inteligent, she's still was at fault for being irresponsible however, just because one of your kids is surprisingly cautious or smart, dont mean you should put him to babysit his brother.

I wonder why the kids didn't move back. You would think a screaming whistle and screeching breaks would be loud enough to scare them.

I used to watch this serie when I was young and believe it or not it hepls a lot on what you need to do on emergency case! thanks for sharing!! ;)
What kind of parent leaves their 3 year old in charge of their 1 year old?

Not a very good mother if you ask me. she trusted a 3 year old to watch her 18 month old. "what the hell is he going to do"
Nicole McNabb I agree. What a dummy.
For real like that’s stupid you think that baby knows how to take care of the baby 🙄
Train tracks are less than 100 feet from my grandma's house. ._. The house shakes whenever the train goes by.
Hopefully the husband gave her a good punch in the face for endangering his sons.

That's correct. Always put your children inside the house first while unloading groceries and other merchandise out from your vehicle or you'll never know where your kids are heading at before they get hurt even you
It’s not her fault maybe she probably didn’t know there was a train coming

Don't leave a 3 year old to watch a 1 year old.
This tells you to keep your kids in sight and with much older kids or something bad is going to happen.
I would never let my 1 year old cousin out of my site either
The train conductor should have been awarded or given a hero's recognition for his bravery and fearless rescue of people whom he never met before.
no fenced yard and lets them go play outside with no supervision?
how could the kids not notice the train horn?? if i heard it id get the hell out of the way
Thats what i said
to young to understand he needed to move or what could happen to him

good thing that kid wasn't laying on the tracks like he was before the train came
Should put up a fence

The mother is going on about how the older son is very cautious, but when there is a huge train coming on the track he is playing on and the conductor is yelling at him his play is much more important to him than that huge scary thing coming towards him with a guy yelling frantically at them to get the heck out of there.
I'm speechless :(

Don't play by the tracks
sue!
How come she didn't put the kids in the house like I don't know a playpen?
Thank You both to the Conductor and his Assistant. But mostly to the Assistant for what he had done. I really don't know what to call them.

Best episode ever. Still agree the mother was reckless when it came to watching her children .
I mean her older son was more carefull so i kinda see why she would trust him
I dont care what u doing and how busy u get , u "DONT" take ur eyes off the kids - EVER
I wouldnt let my 7 year old play alone that close to the tracks, never mind children this young. Blows my mind what that mother was thinking...smh
Amber Ellis this was almost 30 years ago. Different times back then.
wow. parents ARE at fault for this! i am sure they would not allow rescue 911 to televise this unless certain facts were covered up.
No. They air stories like this to educate people who don't know any better or who are just simply too stupid to think logically. The whole show "Rescue 911" was to promote the 911 system as it was just emerging in this day.
my kids never went out alone at that age
Who does not hear the train when it is less than a quarter mile away from you
All parents always keeps an eye on their children before they get hurt even you. You never know where your children are heading at especially when they're outside playing
In this day and age she would have lost both of her kids to Social Services no doubt. She made a mistake to let her kids outside by themselves at that age. Did I think she's a bad mother? No but I do believe this was a learning experience for her. She could have lost a child or even worse both of them. She has God to thank for watching over her 2 kids that day.
You should NEVER play on or near the train tracks. A train with that much weight takes over a mile to stop. And there is not enough clearance or view in front for the conductor/conductors to see in front. What an irresponsible parent!
The thing is, a lot of people have misconceptions about trains and ships and think that they can stop like cars. The sad thing is, they don't. A train with only a literal handful of cars and one loco has a stop distance measured in fractions of a mile. This is with the emergency breaks mind you. With ships, it goes from 'moderate-sized trains' to 'those multi-mile long trains' in terms of stop distance.
It still plagues the world today. The only reason that I knew better was that I was fascinated by trains since I was a tot.
I was abused as a young child and almost killed a couple of times by my abuser. Between the ages of 4-8. I lived in constant terror every day of what horrible thing was going to happen next. Basically dreading each moment. I think that made me terribly aware that bad things can and will happen and you should expect them. I always watched my kids and protected them to excess probably. I have a hard time understanding how people can be oblivious to the things that can happen when you don't know where your child is for 15 seconds. I was always so cautious. I wonder what it's like to be so unaware. Even before i had kids, i would see news stories or watch shows like this that showed exactly what could happen. This show makes you realize an emergency has to be happening practically every moment. How can people think they're immune?
What a hero the train guy is awesome, that mother is disgusting first she leaves babies outside near train tracks no fence then she asks the paramedics to wait for her husband, disgusting woman.
This could have been worse if CSX 8888 (Crazy Eights) the unmanned train was involved in this
Or Lac Megantic. Or those 2 run away boxcars. Really any unoccupied train
It's is illegal to be on railroad property & there are legal fine's & probably jail time for the consequences if caught.
Oh thanks god kids re okay that a man save their kids.. Their mom re fault not ever watch them gee the mother know better!
Lesson learned: don’t be a horrible parent like the one as shown and let your kids out of your sight. I see it all the time and it bugs me to no end. Even when I’m at Walmart, I see a couple shopping to find groceries, and their little child is just following 10 feet behind struggling to keep up, vulnerable to get kidnapped.
That's why you should have a gate on your property especially if you have small children.
Omg why would anybody let so young children to play outside with no one watching
Literally: DUMBEST. MOTHER. EVER!!!
Mother: I have 2 toddlers. We live near train tracks. I need to put up these groceries. Have fun outside, boys!!
When you come back inside I have a gun I’ll let you play with. Little Johnny is so cautious. I know he can be trusted. He’s all of 3 years old!
NO COMMON SENSE WHATSOEVER!!
And don't wait for your husband. Holly hell
Saying that things were done differently ‘back then’ is absolutely no excuse - the dangers could not have been any more apparent. The woman was irresponsibly neglectful. She was damn lucky to not only still have both her boys, she is also lucky the boys’ rescuer was not injured or killed himself. I found this to be unbelievably disturbing to watch.
Remember Kids, Don't play on the Train Tracks because if you do, You will get hit head first with A Train.
I am so sorry that happend 😭😢
I don't care where you live, you DON'T leave a 3 year old to watch over a 1 year old - especially when you know that 1 year old is "fearless". Unbelieveable!
I know having a child doesn’t come with an instruction and safety manual, but I think a lot of child safety and child rearing is just common sense. Geeze, toddlers + 300 feet to train tracks + train tracks + no adult supervision = disaster waiting to happen. And afterward those parents start giving the rest of us advice when the vast majority of us would never have let our toddlers be vulnerable in the first place! There’s just nothing in me that wants to be sympathetic or understanding about the actions of those really negligent parents. Huge big SHAME ON YOU!
You can't trust a 3 year old to watch a 1 1/2 year old, and if you know he's fearless take them both in the house with you!
My mum don’t even let me stand on the cobblestones in the train station and I’m 13 (I live in England)
i wish this miracle would of happened to my friend devlin may 18 2016 he was walkin the tracks and got hit by the wedgr and thrown he was killed on scene
Watching this episode with my brothers was a lesson well learned to not play on the train tracks while the train is approaching and my brother Bob said to me what kind of a mother would let their children let their children may I add that to my list of no-nos he saidwould say
Aww that's cool 😊 gave the conductor a room very very nice!!!
Ah yes the 90s train horn sound effect
Willstep02 very amazing
All he had to do is to follow the damn train!
"The only thing I can say to other mothers is...." How about watch your kids? Everyone makes mistakes. I wasn't even mad at her until the end when she said that. No. Take some responsibility.
Mother of the year
Those children were too young to be left alone outside for any period of time!!!! 😡😠😧 Yea and "other moms don't wait, put up a fence" so you can leave your very young children unsupervised.😡 Hey at least they will be contained when they get injured in the fenced yard.. 😒😒😒 Thank God they survived. Brave engineer..
She should have took them in the house to play while she unloaded the groceries. Children and playing on the railroad tracks are extremely dangerous and absolutely not safe at all. People have to understand that trains are super powerful and can tear a car apart and can kill a person if they are not aware of them. Be extremely careful around railroad tracks and trains.
she should of left the kids in
OMG 6:14 IS HE OR SHE OKAY that looks so painful and it is
I WOULD OF BROUGH THEM INSIDE AND MAKE THEM SISTRACTED BY MAKING THEM PLAY WITH THERE TOYS OR WATCH TV BEFORE I GOT THE GROCERIES!!!!!!!!
dumb how the mother trust her 3 year old to know better not to go near the tracks
All of you that are hating the mother give her a break. It was an accident and kids are always so curious and can sneak off to do dangerous things they never done before. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes so you guys picking on the mother thinks that you never make and never will make mistakes but it is not like any of you are perfect either since you're all human! I know when I graduate from university in 2 years I will have kids too and I know that they might get themselves in dangerous situations. Parents can't watch their children all the time and kids are fast and curious so accidents happen!
You can never trust a 3 year old. That woman made a huge mistake.
***** Excuse me? I'll have you know that I'm an 19 year old girl with a very successful life and going to university next month. Unlike you I don't have time for silliness so back to your parent's basement with you!
