I'm single with no kids of my own and I KNOW BETTER than to leave a child unattended in public because I've had to raise nephews and nieces and varying points in my siblings' lives.
Heck, I wouldn't leave a child in the car when I went in to pay for gas!
Wait, was the mom's name Casey Anthony again?
Really?
You're going to flip out over losing a phone when your neglect could have easily cost the loss of innocence or even life of your child?
Try this on for size mom, get a Viewsonic G-Tablet off of Ebay used for about $60, root it, flash it, give it to the kid and keep your damn phone in your pocket!
 
[citation][nom]okibrian[/nom]What true dumb @sses some of you are. A low life scum steals from a child and you pathetic trash talking low lifes have to bring up this iPhone trash talking $hit. Get a freak'n life already! Go check out of your mom's house already.[/citation]

Nevermind that nobody is trashtalking the iphone. The closest thing is "serves her right for subjected a baby to that kind of mind rotting trash." and he could just as easily be referring to the kid watching barney.

I really do hope that's her walking back into frame in the last seconds, because if she were any further away than that she should just be thankful she still had a child in the stroller. Careless with baby >>> careless with phone.
 
what is wrong with the baby, why didn't it fight back or at least take one of it's toys, then break it on the side of the stroller, then stab the person in the hand with the broken piece as he attempted to steal the iphone?

 
Im more concerned why the baby was alone, rather than some thief obviously grabbing an expensive gadget.
Thats what they do right? they steal expensive stuff *shock*
And why this is news anyways?
 
Honestly I think this is just Apple doing this again.

There is only so many times a prototype can be stolen at a bar before it becomes obvious.
 

I could see how you missed it. It was hard to see being that it was the 1st and 3rd post and all.
 
[citation][nom]Excella1221[/nom]How despicable.Though, lol at the people who would rather hate and comment on the fact that the item in question is an iPhone instead of the situation itself. The hell.[/citation]

Sad, isn't it ?
 
You have a better chance at getting hit by lightning while on the moon than someone trying to take a baby. Who would want something that makes it their mission to annoy you at every possible moment.

If someone wants a baby so bad then they could adopt one of the million or so that are up for adoption (not only would they not get 20 years or so in prison for kidnapping, the state will also give them a monthly payment to help take care of the kid.

Kidnapping is something that has a chance of happening in a custody battle, and on movies where someone gets kidnapped and then ransom money is demanded.

Only issue is that it is nearly impossible to get ransom money out of anyone, especially if the person owns a iphone (most of the people I know with iphones, spend most of their income on it's insane monthly cost. ransom today will likely at most get you an IOU and a 20% off coupon for a box of cereal.
 
This thread just shows how many people in this world have become so over-protective and jump to blaming the mother for leaving a child NO MORE THAN FIVE METRES from where she was shopping! Seriously. Yes it's bad that the guy took the phone, but hey, who leaves an iphone with a baby anyway...that to me is a bigger problem. We have become far to wrapped up in cotton wool these days...
 
i think you people are missing the point.. she left her child alone.. with the amount of attention she paid.. she's lucky only her iphone was pilfered.. what if her child had been abducted? she is a bad parent for leaving her child unattended.. a stranger could have slipped the baby poison and she would have been none the wiser.
 
Chase and shoot to kill. It's not as though this person qualifies as a human. Anyone taking something from a defenseless baby need to be 'cut from the herd'.

Apparently you're not native from this planet then.
 
[citation][nom]Martin9630[/nom]why does the baby have an iPhone in the first place?[/citation]
[citation][nom]ojas[/nom]my thoughts exactly...[/citation]
The article described why the child had the phone. Did you read it, or just spray out an ignorant criticism? I don't think you were doing any thinking at all.
 
@benage_nz

no more than 5 meters, so she must have noticed the guy reach towards the baby, if some unknown dude reached for my kid i'll be interested in a explanation fast like, it might as well been 100 meters given the attention the mother was paying to her kid.

In your quick jump to criticize a parent (insecure in your own skills?), you failed to consider that it is not likely the criminal casually strolled up, looked over the situation for a while, reached for the child and slowly negotiated the hand-off of the phone. It probably happened in 2-3 seconds. Far faster than anyone could respond (or do you think you are the superhero Flash?).
