I was in a store with my wife at the customer service counter. I was actually standing a few feet behind her waiting to finish a purchase. When she finished, I took a step back to make room for her to get by so we could leave. In the process, I tripped and fell over a small child (maybe 2 or 3 y/o) who was just sitting on the floor behind my feet completely unsupervised, while her mom and grandmom were at another customer service counter. Anyway, I fell hard and broke my wrist and landed hard on this kid. I could feel and hear the sound of his head smack against the hard floor of the store. Naturally, the kid was crying and I felt absolutely terrible, I said I was sorry to the kid and tried to see if he was ok. I was certain he hit his head pretty damn hard but the mom was like 'don't worry it was an accident ...What..No apology, for her carelessness. so my wife and I left to the Hospital . I couldn't help but think that if the kids mom would have been paying better attention to child.
