another sighting on the train

This 5 year old was talking his mom's cell phone, saying cute little 5 year old stuff. Then he hangs up and gives the phone back to his mom, to which she replied: "Honey, I wanted to keep talking to her."

So the mom calls back "her" and continues talking on the phone with "her". Her son, meanwhile, found an empty seat and sat down. He continued to take off his shoe and begin to examine the workings of his velco straps.

Okay, so there's this boy sitting with one shoe in his hand, and his mother standing with one hand on her cell phone and talking on the cell phone. All of a sudden, she bursts out "Oh, this is our stop! Come on, let's go!" and proceeds to grab her son's arm with the non-cell phone hand and DRAG him off the train. The kid is screaming "MOM, I NEED TO PUT MY SHOE ON!" but the mom isn't hearing any of this because she's still talking on the cell phone.

So now the image consists of a mom talking on her cell phone in one hand and her other hand dragging her child off the train while child is holding onto one shoe. The child isn't even WALKING. He's being dragged on his butt because his mom pulled him out of his seat so suddently that he couldn't gain balance to stand up.

You must think us other MUNI commuters just sat and stared at this image. Nope, we did not. There were about five of us, me included, who shouted for the mother to stop dragging her kid, but she didn't pay attention to us because she was yakking on her cell phone.

Poor kid.
