What happen today...
(Sunday) we went to Costco.. Crowds were not to bad, & we got in the check out line.
There were 3 adults in front of us that had 4 childern. (2little girls in the cart &2 older boys running around Age 8 or 9 )
This is not uncommon, kids run around all the time in our costco.. (Mine don't, Just how I was raised. You don't goof off while mom is shopping)
As one of the adults ahead of us is checking out, one is standing there eating popcorn, the other is watching the Costco employee load the cart. In other words no one is watching the kids. As my DH was unloaded the cart The oldest boy from in front of us went running around again.
All the sudden from the check out line NEXT to us a father of two 3 month olds yelled at the top of his lungs. "THAT BOY BIT MY KID!" I look over to see the boy running away and the baby's foot DRIPPING BLOOD! The baby's father picks up the baby & I could see multiple bite marks. My mouth dropped to the floor! :scream:
What was worse is The three adults in front of us stood there attempting to finish checking out, While 3 Costco employees come over to try & corral the boy.
Costco then called EMTs services. And When the mother of the boy finally identified herself, She then refused to give her name and contact info.
The cashier then voided her transaction, and handed her Costco card to store manager. Both parties were than escorted out of the check out line until EMTs arrived.
I don't know which shocked me more..
A 8-9 year old boy biting a complete strangers 3 mo. Old!
Or the adults trying to finish checking out like nothing is going on!
After just being stunned most of the afternoon DH asks me,
1.what would happen if DD(3) or DD(8) got bit on our up coming cruise?
2. Does age matter? 3-4 vs. 9,10,11
3. What if one is bit so bad it draws blood?
I didn't know the answers but I'm sure my Disboards will..
Both DH and I are now a little nervous about letting our new turned 3 yo enter the kids clubs with the older children.
