Stuck between seats: Child needs rescuing from train seats
A story that she won't soon forget, but we doubt it will stop her from doing it again...
Travelling with kids can be fun for them, but super stressful for parents. The number of things that could go wrong always seems to increase when you are out and about with the kids.
For some parents, the stress can cause them to over-prepare, which is never bad. Then some just set sail with the wind and handle things that come their way.
Whichever parent you are, it's always good to remember that staying calm during a stressful situation or emergency helps your child stay calm. Stay calm and breathe; you will notice how quickly you can find a resolution.
A Botswana mother living in Canada shared how her daughter got stuck between two seats while on a train.
The young girl was wedged between the two seats and could not wiggle out. Her mom, who didn't seem stressed by the incident, recorded a video as emergency responders entered the train to help her daughter out of this tricky situation.

People were amused when the young girl said, 'Finally,' as she was pulled out. But this young explorer seems fond of playing in and around the seats while travelling on the train.
When asked how she got into this situation, the mom replied, "Because they don't listen."
While she didn't have a video of how her daughter got herself into this tricky position, she did share another video showing how her daughter enjoys climbing the seats when they are on the train.
The below video attracted many comments from people shaming the mother, saying she shouldn't allow this, but she responded by saying, "My sister is tired and here you can't scream, u can only try to knock some sense. If u scream, you are the abusive parent. If it were in Botswana 🇧🇼, this whole situation wouldn't have happened."
