Makaveli Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looks like it wasn't his parents fault. 2-year-old who fell to his death at Lakers game had crawled out of parents' sight[/size] The parents of a 2-year-old who died after plunging 50 feet from a Staples Center luxury suite had lost sight of their son and were searching for him when they learned he had fallen, said sources familiar with the investigation. The boy, Lucas Anthony Tang, had been crawling around the suite during the Lakers' game against the Golden State Warriors, sources said. At some point, his parents noticed he was missing and began to look for him. They did not know then that their son, who would have turned 3 in January, had fallen. Witnesses at the game told The Times that the boy was moving his arms, legs and head before paramedics took him out on a stretcher. A spokesman for AEG, the company that manages Staples Center, said he had no comment at this time. The death is being investigated by the LAPD's abused-child unit, a standard practice that officials said does not necessarily mean a crime has been committed.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/11/boy-fall-lakers-game.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lone Granger Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Devastating news. In all honesty though, the parents shouldn't have just been letting their toddler crawl around, keep him in your sight and honestly in your arms at all times at an even as big as an NBA basketball game. My prayers go out to the family for sure. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
