Video of grandma dropping baby to save falling prosecco glass sparks fierce debate
Did she do the right thing?
A video of a grandmother who grabbed a prosecco glass and let a baby fall has sparked a huge debate online on whether she did the right thing.
Originally the video was shared to be humourous, with the caption: “And Grandmother of the year award goes to…”
The woman, who can be seen in the video holding a baby up against a table, grabs the glass off the child and in doing so removed her arm which was supporting the child up.
The little one inevitably falls on the floor.
The internet is in a pretty fierce debate if she did the right thing.
Some people are claiming that she did the right thing by grabbing the glass, which could have potentially shattered on the floor and caused a serious injury.
One person wrote: “To be fair, if the glass broke that could have seriously hurt the baby.”
Another added: “If the glass fell with the baby, it would have broken and the baby would have been hurt. She did the right thing.”
However, some people are saying the grandmother was ‘irresponsible’. One person replied to the tweet with a picture of a woman smiling as she throws a baby in the air.
A second said: “She. Was. Holding. Up. The. Baby. If the glass was already gone, she should have kept holding the baby. Neither would have been an issue if she had some control over the toddler grabbing a glass of alcohol. She did literally all the worst things. Yes everyone survived.”
A third wrote: “Why she let the baby get that close to the glass in the first place? like the baby had ahold of it and everything.”
Another tried to defuse the situation, pointing out that no one was harmed and that’s the priority: “That could have gone very badly. One of those things that happen in the blink of an eye. We all should just be happy with the outcome and leave it at that.”
