3 yrs old child falls off Mersey Ferry

[Chris Allman]

A three year old toddler fell off a Mersey Ferry this afternoon at Seacombe and was rescued by a very brave member of the crew. See HERE It is treacherous where it happened and had it not been low water at the time it could have had a tragic ending. The river runs at over 7 knots on the ebb and flood just there and I doubt whether she would have stood a chance nor the crew member for that matter. A very brave man indeed.

Chris, how on earth does a 3yr old fall overboard where were the parents? Full marks to the crew member one brave fellow.

I don't know where the parents were in this case , but the kids playing in the Toy aisle in ASDA certainly were not there , or they may have complained about the prat playing foot ball with a ball off the shelves with his twelve year old

apropos babies or small children & s/house parenting, sitting in a little bistro last evening slight rain around 9.30pm, parents come into the covered-sheltered area with a baby maybe 3 mths old in pram screaming its tits off as cold & probably wet. They sat there as if nothing was wrong never looked at nor touched the baby. Had their meal whilst baby screamed the whole time sitting in a draft. They finished their meal then walked off seeing nothing at all wrong with having such a small baby out at that time or in the cold & wet.
