Would be very few parents or grandparents who haven't had a kid "disappear" momentarily,or almost make it onto the road etc.Yeah these are the ones that hit you when you read them.
My sister went missing for a while when we lived in Merimbula. An old lady at the retirement home found her and took her in. Gave her milk and didn't call the cops for about an hour!Would be very few parents or grandparents who haven't had a kid "disappear" momentarily,or almost make it onto the road etc.
Speaking to a Mum last night saying her 6 year old had got her 2x,once for almost 20mins.She also said the wetlands/lakes all over Perth's suburbs are a real worry with little'uns.
Not restricted to Perth and you can't fence them.
Just a god-awful piece of s**t circumstance.

Toddler found drowned after walking out an open door.
Just found it really random and sad.
An autopsy will obviously take place to rule out possibility of foul play. But I have a friend who has an autistic toddler. Apparently they are fascinated by water. And I was told only parents could understand the ability for someone that age to go walkabouts without proper supervision.Part of the horror of coincidence that no-one saw a young distinctive kid,reportedly none too steady on his pins travel 800 metres alone toward a lake in suburbia.
I'll begin..

Can someone please explain how a little slide like that is worth $10,000 ?? Christ.. What a ridiculous ripoff. No wonder council rates are so high.
That link wasn't worth an entire thread to itself. There are often times people want to mention things or discuss something that's in the news of the day but not worthy of an entire thread. We also have a rule (5a), that we stick to pretty strictly, regarding opening of threads with nothing more than a link to a news article. This thread serves as a place to dump those links.Why are these things not worth their own thread?
If I create a thread on the Perth toddler now, it will just get closed with "This is being discussed in the news today thread", or it will attract little discussion because people feel they've already had their say.That link wasn't worth an entire thread to itself.

As Chief said, if you think something is worth its own thread, then feel free to create one

I really don't get the current BigFooty obsession with minimising how many threads there are. Does Chief have to pay for them all individually or something? The Cricket tour of UAE against Pakistan (ODI's and Tests) was al restricted to one thread, whereas we used to have a new one for every day of a Test match! It doesn't matter if something which is not major news gets a thread which is all done in fifteen posts.
Seems to be an assumption that everyone is in a thread right from the start and keep up with it as it goes along. in fact it's a pain in the arse trying to guess if/where something might be if you're not there as it happens. Take this thread - I won't be checking it all the time just in case something interesting happens (but not interesting enough for a separate thread), and then when something interesting does happen but I don't happen to be on BigFooty until later on that day or the next, I won't be coming in and try to work out if discussion of that thing is on page 156 or 178 or not at all or mixed in among discussion of something completely unrelated.
Anyway, rant over.
There was one here but it got merged, also another thread here:Can't help but notice that this isn't being discussed?
