Baby hurt in fall from platform
January 15, 2005
A BABY boy suffered serious head injuries at a NSW south coast railway station when he fell from his pram and wedged between a train and the platform.
Police said a 40-year-old man was stepping off the train at about 9pm (AEDT) yesterday pushing the pram when it tipped forward and the 4-month-old slipped out and fell between the train doorway and the platform of Fairy Meadow station.
The man then became stuck in the gap while trying to save the baby before people alerted the train driver.
The baby was treated at the scene by ambulance officers before being taken to Wollongong Hospital with a fractured skull and suspected spinal injuries.
He was later airlifted to Sydney Children's Hospital in a serious condition.
Sydney police said the Department of Community Services and Wollongong detectives were investigating.
(Why would DOCs be investigating??)

Could be that the man involved was under influence of alcohol or other substances whilst in charge of the baby?

There was a short mention of the matter in the Sunday Telecrap and it said that the man (the father) was under the influence.

Yet the number of stupid things i've seen done with (occupied) prams - paticularly prams being pushed out into traffic while the pusher stops and watches the road...
Some people must really believe that babies project invulnerablity auras.
