Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
Will stick this one here.
Not sure if anyone's seen this but it's been in most of the online rags over the last couple of days.
Do you think it's fake/staged or not?

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
I know when first heard of it that I thought of this earlier tragic case where 2-year-old twins were killed.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
I first seen this on TV days ago and thought it was set up.
1. The twin lifting the drawers is a whole lot bigger than the other twin.
2. How convenient that the drawers were empty making them lighter.
3.Who would actually film it? the first thing you would do is run to stop the drawers toppling on top of the baby.
I hope Social Services gave them a knock at the door.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
My first thought too but it was a surveillance camera and it happened early morning so the mother was asleep. I think the boy survived because his head was inside the drawer cavity. Had that drawer been closed it might have crushed him.

I will transfer the posts about the twin saving his brother to their own topic when I'm able to; there are gremlins in the system at the moment.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
For some reason I can merge topics (not that I want to right now) but the function to split topics isn't working.
P.S. I've just learned that Forumotion is aware of the problem.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
I can't see how it is faked. I don't know why the twin underneath didn't suffer serious head injury though.
The Mirror video was cut short. Here is the full vid. showing the boys beginning to clamber on the furniture before it tumbles.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
I'm not sure how you could fake/set that up either. The little one is extremely fortunate that he didn't suffer a serious injury or worse.
The other little one certainly eats his vitamins to be able to push the drawers back like that.

As I thought the open drawer protected his head. Also I think the ball that it fell on maybe made it easier to move it.
Here is an interview with the parents.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
Mother says she watched it live on her phone and saw the dresser falling down but no kids to be seen.......
Was she watching a different video or what.
She then jumped out of bed and ran downstairs....
Took her a while to get there then.

No Andrew you misunderstood. She says she was watching the live feed on her phone and saw that the dresser had fallen over but no kids to be seen. She then ran to see what had happened and they were sitting playing. So she only saw the dresser after the boys were out from under it.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
Probably not worth continuing with this, but blimey ! That dresser fell on the twin. The vid I posted needs clicking on a few times until it plays
It falls on the little boy !! He is able to wriggle a bit and expose his head but must have suffered some contusion surely. Not helped by the other brother clambering onto the fallen chest of drawers while his brother was underneath.
As a parent watching it in 'real time' you'd be there in seconds surely ? Quite a few minutes before they were sitting playing imo.

Re: Twin saves brother when dresser falls on him
I think the mother was asleep at the point that it happened. She said she only saw the dresser had fallen over but we don't know how long after the accident that she switched on her phone. She said they slept in toddler beds and could get out of bed to play, . I think she reacted as soon as she saw the phone. Where they were negligent was not securing the dresser to the wall which is what Ikea recommend.

I didn't think I interpreted it wrong but probably did.
Will have another look later.
