But then again had they have been watching the kid, this wouldn't have happened.

And you could turn around and say you can't keep your eyes on your kids every second of the day. Accidents happen, you live and learn. Just mabe this was a bit of a painful lesson.

A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl was today fighting for her life in hospital after a horror plunge in Primark's Liverpool city centre store.

The youngster fell more than 100 feet inside Primark on Church Street in front of stunned shoppers.

The girl was on the second floor when she toppled over into the gap between escalators and plunged three floors to the basement.

She was rushed to the Royal Liverpool Hospital with her distraught family, where her conditon was described as critical.

Emergency services said she had ‘torso-based’ injuries and was suffering from breathing difficulties.

An announcement was made over the public address system and hundreds of shoppers were evacuated.

Witnesses said they heard screams and the sound of a loud thud as the little girl hit the floor.

Crowds gathered outside as the girl was taken to the ambulance.

Merseyside Police say there was nothing to suggest the incident is suspicious.

A spokesman said: “We are at the scene, checking CCTV footage and taking witness statements from people.”

A Primark spokesman confirmed the store was closed and said the company’s thoughts were with the girl and the family.

I don't understand how anyone can find that funny.

Bad parenting.What the hell are you on about, it's not their fault at all. This could of happened to anyone, I know a 3-year old doesn't have as much common sense as perhaps an adult but this could of happened to anyone by the sounds of it. It could of just took an adult to push another adult and they fall. It's in no way the parent's fault, there is very tough health and safety law's so you can allow younger kids to go around these stores with out being watched like Big Brother by your parents. Primark could be sued for millions if it turns out to be their fault.

The worry is that she'll have little quality of life if she stays alive, but get well soon never-the-less.

It may be frowned upon but still, you can't actually prove I swore. For all you know, I could've just put a load of asterixes.

On topic: I bet Primark get in a lot of trouble for this and I bet the family try and sue.

I live near that Primrk, and its a great primark, its got a normal floor, and esulators going downthe floor, there is a barrior between the set of esculators, but i imagine a child can fit between it!

Its pretty sick what you morons are saying, but IMO, its the childs and parents fault.

Can't believe some people in this thread, its sickening. Imagine if that was your 3 year old sister and people where saying things like this, i don't think you'd stand for it. Grow up.


I work in the Primark in Liverpool as a supervisor of a weekend. I work on the lower ground floor and so have to travel from the basement right up to the staff floor, which is two floors up from the highest customer floor so theres 7 floors all together in the building. Only customers can get access to 5 with 3rd floor being the highest point for customer access.

All i can say is that if she fell from the escalator leading up to the third floor all the way down to the lower ground basement then she will be lucky to survive if it was a straight drop.

The only possible way i can think that she has got fallen off would be as u reach the top of the escalator there is glass paritions at the edge so you can't fall off and they are above waist height with hand rails on. Obviously you can't make the glass meet the escalator so theres a gap thats the only way i can think that shes fallen off by squeezing through the gap. Its the same at the bottom and top of each escalator on each floor.

Also someone said about the gap in between the escalators, well the escalators are all centered in one place, so they are in like a squre and there is three, normally two going up and one going down from each floor.

So its like this;

Ouch, the story paints horrid mental pictures.

To be honest, the people laughing aren't immature, they just have a different sense of humour. You get it all the time. They don't know the kid and are miles away or don't even involve themselves with places like that, so it makes no sense to them, to care about some kid they would never know. It's like this, why should you care? You don't know the child and wouldn't of without this news article.

Not saying I like this sort of behaviour, but you see it all the time on TV. People making fun of 9/11 etc.

They opened a top looking shop in Oxford Street. Ofcourse they would. The parents were probably carrying her and said that it wasn't them.
Mabe she grabbed on to the moving hand rail and was pulled up and she let go too late.

And I'm still getting -reps. There are too many stupid people on this forum who'l -rep people at the smallest thing they see wrong. They don't even know what sarcasm is.

If she survived uninjured... possibly. Depends on how the person who fell feels. But she's not in a good way is she? So it's not good.
