Just in: A child fell from the 2nd floor of Sm City Cebu

[Nefarian]

Butangi! Wala ko mag lean sa glass brader kundi sa chrome metal. So gi specific jud nako nga kitang adults obvious najud nato nga dili ta mag lean sa glass kay naa nagud tay boot.

It was not meant specifically for children but for everyone. How many adults have been leaning on that glass and wala nahulog?
(simbako intawn) Kung mahulog imong bata nga kiat sa balay sa imong silingan, imong iblame imong silingan or ang nag himo sa ilang balay? Or sa balay man lang nimo, iblame nimo ang naghimo sa imong balay?

LOL @ the butt part haha. Unsaon man nga pildi man ka? lol. Dili naman jud ko tigduol ana sa edge bisag unsa pa na floor in the first place kay I am scared of heights :P

Bro murag wa man ka kabalo sa imong gipanulti bro, unsaon man tawn nimo pag lean sa glass? stainless steel ka makalean bro dili sa glass.

Yeah and it is the adult's responsibility to watch over our child since naa naman tay boot. You know naman diay the difference between the glass and the chrome metal. Then where is this TRUST you said? If you trust the structure, then bisag asa na ka musandig.

It still doesn't change the fact nga daghan na nga tao dira na area nga wala nahulog. Kahibaw man diay mo na glass, and kahibaw man jud mo mabuak ang glass eventually which would cause you to fall, would you still leave your child near the vicinity?

Butangi again!

I trust the glass will prevent the children from falling down. I lean on the metal part kay over 5 feet man akong height unless ako jud tuyoon mo bend down aron maka lean ko sa glass. Mura tag amaw guro tan'awon ana brader.

Ug problema nimo kaayo ning mga railings with glass panel how come mao man jud ni mga design mostly sa mga malls worldwide?

Dili tanang glass dali mabuak, kahibaw ka bro kaning nahitabo may kalambigitan man gud sa profession, so dili na acceptable nga rason nga WALA gituyo nga substandard ang glass.

Bro i think nag assume ka nga pag abot sa ginikanan aning bataa sa SM, iya na ning gipasagdaan ang bata. Basin nagtuo ka nga wla nya bantayi iyang anak. We can read the papers nga iyang gigukod sa inahan ang bata. Which is what a normal parents would do. do you think iya tong buhaton kung iya pang gipasagdan? It was very unfortunate nga ang glass barrier which would have prevented anyone from falling, didnt work as it should have.

OT: @menatsu pila man gyud diay imong height bro?

Since this topic has become so interesting, I decided to do a little reading.

Just something I got from the The Family Code of the Philippines, Chapter 3 Article 221 and I quote.

"Parents and other persons exercising parental authority shall be civilly liable for the injuries and damages caused by the acts of omissions of their unemancipated children living in their company and under their parental authority subject to the appropriate defense provided by law."

My novice interpretation of this article would be that the injury sustained by the child who fell because the parent failed or neglected to provide appropriate supervision (which for me is the act of omission) should be the liability of the parents. But that's my interpretation. Maybe too simplistic or completely wrong akong interpretation. Any law experts here who can weigh in? And please use your opinions ha.

[Ayaw ng kang papa nga judge or kang tito nga lawyer ha.. ]

And please don't understand this as me saying that SM is blame-less. At some level, they are. And I'm inclined to agree with one istoryan here who said that maybe they should use the stainless railings rather than the glass barriers. But it doesn't take the fact that your kids are primarily YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Stop making excuses.

And oh, some of us may or may not be parents, but we are not unburdened youths either. Stop hiding behind your "you are not yet a parent" defense.

Mas taas pa nimo haha. ;D It doesn't really change anything kung unsa pa akong height. Then let me rephrase again, pila ka adults ang nagdala og bata sa SM nya wala sila nahulog? And can you tell me why wala sila nahulog?

Come to think of it, the parent's child also felt siguro na naay pabaya sa ilang part kay wala man sila nag sue (as far as i know, correct me if i am wrong). SM also felt their pabaya by paying the bills. Kung gi blame jud nila ang SM majorly, naa na unta ni sa korte. And here you all are trying to say otherwise.
