Boy gets caught in toy-filled 'claw' machine
Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 12:54 PM by no name no slogan



AUSTIN, Minn. — A machine filled with toys must've been awfully tempting to a three-year-old boy.

The tot crawled through the toy discharge chute in the Toy Chest claw machine at a Godfather's Pizza in Austin and got stuck amid all the toys.

Fire Chief Dan Wilson said it was one of the funniest things he's ever seen. Wilson was one of three people to respond to the non-emergency call. He says the boy was inside the transparent container playing, smiling and laughing and people were taking his picture with digital cameras.


They got the tot out safely, unhurt. :D

ON EDIT: full story here

1. If you pick up the baby in the claw, do you get to keep it?

6. How cute
Did the parents just watch him do that or were they simply letting him run amuck like so many parents do? :hide:
