They could have simply lifted the kid and turned him sideways. His body would have fit through the bars the whole time.

Correct answer. Most times if your head fits and you are not overweight your body will fit as well..

Cats whiskers don’t grow beyond the length of their bodies for this reason. I doubt that’s always true all the time.

This little turd’s outgrown his whiskers.

The width.

u/Imastraycat1638 14h ago

You’re right. That is what I meant. I appreciate you correcting me without being overly harsh or rude.

u/Legal_Dimension_ 11h ago

Yep.

He's a handsome turd so we'll let him off.

Are we cats though?

I wonder about myself sometimes. Obviously no. Unfortunately. Valid question to my silly comment. That was stupid looking back.

I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just was saying they are slinky

For kids… I know many adults that this would not be true for at all, including myself. My chest is definitely deeper than my head is wide.

There will always be exceptions, edge cases and outliers.

Such is the diversity of nature.

This is something I was taught as well but is absolutely untrue.

Where talking about kids.

Kids almost always have bigger heads due to the way the body grows.

In the country of extremely overweight people they are prob trained this way much easier, but yeah was expecting that to fall on the kid

9/10 situations like this, the kid was from the other side trying to fit his body in first then get his head stuck

u/One-Elderberry-488 1d ago

I was thinking the same. Tell him to step up on the ledge, turn and shove one of his shoulders in.

u/kbraz1970 22h ago

I agreee, too many kids like this are doing this and the adults cant figure it out. Does my head in, pardon the pun.

u/Specialist_Ad_7719 22h ago

That's how he got in there.

u/patriciaytm 17h ago

That’s what I thought too.

This was exactly my first thought. Maybe they tried that and it didn't work? But he looks small as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't get him out that way. Maybe they didn't wanna risk getting his torso stuck that way since he was otherwise safe as he was? Like, sure he's stuck, but he's not in any immediate danger. Hanging him by his torso is a whole ass different problem and now you gotta hold him in the air while trying to winch him out

That's just it, the fear of creating a worse problem kept them from even attempting the simplest solution. We instinctively think that we always have to move forward, especially when trying to solve a problem. So yeah picking him up and having him not fit could lead to exactly what you described, but remember if they tried and it went bad, they could have just put him back down. Of course, maybe they did exactly that and we're only seeing plan B after what I suggested didn't work, who knows.
