#1 this kid is my new hero.

#2 .. if she hadn't crawled into the machine and been snitched on by her brother... would her parents have even noticed she was missing? lol... the kid had to convince his mom to take 3 looks before hurrying off into the store.

I hope she at least got to keep the toy.

I didn't see that she had a toy with her. It's probably there in the chute still

Agree, that mom is relying on 'mother duck' syndrome to keep her kids in tow.

Smart daughter, though. Must have the mailman's eyes....

Isn't this the third kid to recently do this?

I can't watch it at work... Did they try to get her back out by using the claw? Cause that would be awesome.

I hate parents that just let their kids do whatever the hell they want to. Even as Mom is trying to figure out how to get her out, the kid is climbing even further into the machine. And Dad is just standing around with a "What the hell?" look on his face.

OMFGBBQ!!!

That was friken hilarious...especially when dad saw her and immediately went into the "OHSHITTHATAINTMYKID" mode.

lol...that's awesome...too bad there wasn't audio on the video...

Its funny. Something like this happened when I worked at Old Moldy (Old Navy). This kid wanted a sucker so bad that he put his hand up the machine and got his arm stuck. A few other employees and myself tried to get his arm out, but we couldn't.

My manager called the fire department. They got his arm out and we gave him the sucker he wanted.

Everything was all well again and the firefighters left. I went back to folding crap and I hear this screaming. I turn around and the kid's mother is nagging at her son. The lil b*****d put his arm in again and got it stuck.

/sigh Some people never learn!

Oh my goodness! Do I laugh at the absurdity of it all? Or do I sit here in horror at the site of this woman walking away not only not believing the whereabouts of her two year old, but in fact, not knowing them at all.

The best part to me, was the guy on the left washing the doors! I love it! There is a kid in the claw machine and this bozo is washing the windows. Why? cause they are there and it is his job.

I always used to reach my arm up through the hole and grab what I wanted, sometimes using forks or straws. It hurt like hell though.

That sorta sounds like I'm not talking about a claw game.

Also, the ignorance of this comment cracked me up:

OMG!!! That is funny and sad at the same time. My kid wouldnt get halfway in there before I noticed. Poor little girl didnt even get a toy for all her trouble. I do think that mother should have kept a better eye on her kids though.

I don't get it. If for some reason I missed one of my kids crawling in one of those things. I wouldn't just stand around trying to get it to come out. These machines can be opened. Get one of the staff to open the machine and get the kid out. I don't even want to think about the things that could happen. A mountain of stuffed toys isn't exactly the most stable footing you can find.
