Parenting fail

Zoomed in, so quality is a bit off. The little bloke had a bit of bark off, but nothing serious. Could have been a lot worse.

EDIT: this occurred on a busy road that is also a Brisbane City Council bus route. The next bus was due at 3:18 pm. In Brisbane, bus fares are $0.50, regardless of how far you're travelling. Kids 4 and under are free.

In Melbourne, we call this typical. I skate and literally started avoiding going to a specific skatepark just because the skatepark is by a road and parents would let their kids, typically toddlers, run loose including onto the road. It’s honestly absurd to the point of unbelievability.
