OMG! Have you seen this yet? A baby being pushed across the street with a Segway has to be one of the most dangerous things I’ve ever seen. Even if this woman was hurt or ill and needed the Segway for mobility, it’s still a really bad idea. Because of the way the Segway works, she wouldn’t be able to reverse quickly or move out of the way with the baby stroller in case of an emergency.
What Do You Think About The Lazy Segway Mom?
This lazy Segway mom isn’t exactly mother of the year. Hopefully, this baby is safe and not in dangerous situations like this on a regular basis. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
good point!
when did walking become so difficult?
That kinda clever but there are some bugs or sometimes Segway malfunctions so using that while carrying a baby stroller at the same time would be quite dangerous.
Maybe this is a low-or-no traffic area? If it isn’t this is dangerous, bar none
i also agree. her medical/physical issues are irrelevant. she put the child in a potentially harmful situation and showed poor judgement. if i had seen her i would have called child services and the police. this photo reminds me of Britney Spear driving with a baby in lap and not in a car seat. just because Britney was off her meds, didnt excuse her poor judgement.
cancer, missing leg, whatever…. it's still stupid, dangerous and illegal. especially crossing a street. i'm a cop and would have detained her on the spot regardless of her medical problems and released the child to another guardian.
she is a cancer survivor after having to amputate her leg….walking long distance is a struggle for her this is how she gets around….now dont you feel like a jerk
Listen here you jerk!! That “Woman” you found so convenient to tear down is my mother. I happen to know that she is not a lazy woman. In fact she exercises four times a week. The reason she uses her Segway is she went through cancer for three years and in the end had to have her left leg amputated. When traveling long distances by walking she develops very painful blisters and sores from the rubbing of her prosthetic leg. I have seen these sores draw tears to my mothers eyes they are so painful, and my mother is a very tough woman. Another fact which is inaccurate because you are a pathetic excuse for a journalist, is that is not her daughter. It is actually her great niece. Not that, that makes any difference to the overall story. It just goes to show how the use of the internet as a media of journalism has deteriorated to to the point of being nothing more than a bunch of old ladies sitting around the bingo table spreading the latest gossip. If you consider yourself a “journalist” you should actually try and research the topic you are writing about. Actually talk to the person you intend to insult and tear down and hear their side of the story before going ahead and making an ass of yourself. And to the rest of you who posted negative things about a kind, gentle, and hardworking woman you know nothing about: you should all be ashamed of yourselves!! Let this be a lesson to all of you, do not pass judgement on someone unless you know the whole story. You all were poking fun of an amputee cancer survivor who was taking care of children who weren’t even her own out of the kindness of her heart. All of you should be extremely ashamed of the way you were all so quick to judge. And to the “journalist” who wrote this article I believe you owe my mother an apology. Your take on her stroller pushing techniques hurt her feelings without cause. You had no right to say the things you did about her. Your statements were and are unfounded, grossly exaggerated, and irresponsible. If you would like to take responsibility for your hurtful statements and attempt to make amends please e-mail my mom as [email protected]. Her name is Melissa Hofstetter and I’m sure she would really appreciate a heartfelt apology from you. Let the lesson be learned that we should not judge things we see without first placing that situation or event in the proper context. Because without context, something this journalist seems to know nothing about. one cannot build a cohesive and educated opinion.
