In a terrifying moment captured by surveillance cameras, a young boy became trapped between the doors of an elevator, sparking panic and chaos in a residential building.
The footage shows the child caught as the elevator doors began to close, unable to free himself. Within seconds, his mother realizes what’s happening and rushes into action, desperately pulling at the doors with her bare hands.
Neighbors can be heard shouting in alarm as the mother fights to keep the elevator from moving. Her quick instincts and strength likely saved her son from serious injury or worse.
Authorities later described the incident as a close call caused by parental negligence, emphasizing the importance of keeping a close watch on children in buildings with elevators.
Experts also noted that elevator safety sensors can fail if obstructed by small objects or if children press multiple buttons in panic.
Thankfully, the boy was freed without major injuries, but the shocking video serves as a stark reminder:
A single moment of distraction can lead to a lifetime of regret.”
