In this case, it was totally avoidable.
The natural barricade of the buggy blocking the stairs should have been used to let the Mother supervise the three kids, not prevent the Father and Mother from supervising the first two kids.
And they screwed up on the second chance too, when they nearly lost the middle kid out the door.
Don't forget that I AM a parent, and left my own child on her own in the place as I ran out the door to rescue theirs.
We're not talking about a kid bumbling out into the street in Hicksville (pop: 7), we're talking about one of the largest and busiest cities in the world - and only one street away from the dead centre. Anyone reasonable would have had their head screwed on a little better.
