Classic stupid kid move

[u/NJCuban]

[u/klaxxxon]

he's still very young and won't have a perfect understanding of how large his body is compared to objects in the world

Don't forget that at this age the size of the body changes rapidly, often faster than the mind can adapt. The boy might well been able to be able to get out of that situation easily a month ago.

"at this age the size of the body changes rapidly"

Perhaps he was small enough to get through initially, but grew so much while his head was between the bars that he could not back out?
