A Mum's Worst Nightmare on the Tube: Lost Child and Grateful Thanks

@theniceone strangest comment I’ve read on here.
Not an opportunist creep or a druggie off their head you’re worried about but football fans out having a laugh, a drink with their mates and a chant on the tube on their way to a match. Very odd way of thinking.
 
@theniceone didn’t you realise that football hooligans are a protected group? how dare you insinuate that a child should be with a nice family in a time of crisis than a load of pissed up men. Ridiculous.
Love you xo
 
@hranicka223 haha honestly, these comments are so out of context. My partner is a season ticket holder and he agrees with me that a family is a less scary group for a lost kid than a group of loud men with a police escort 🤣 anyway… carry on🤣
 
@theniceone
The definition of “to take things out of context” is: If a statement or remark is quoted out of context, the circumstances in which it was said are not correctly reported
You literally said “football fans” and as such offended people who consider themselves football fans!
Not all football fans are men. Not all football fans are “hooligans” and most fans travel without a police escort!
It may not be what you intended or meant in your original comment but it’s what you said! 😆
You’re right, it probably would be less scary for a kid to be with other kids or a “nice family” but hey if football fans come with a police escort as standard then a kid probably would be pretty safe with them too Lol 😆
Anyways… as you say… carry on! 😆😝
 
@theniceone I have to say I think she’s thinking of if there are a lot of ppl around a bit tipsy but I will say I’ve had help from lovely bunch of guys helping me get on busy tubes with a buggy and older child and kept them entertained when otherwise ppl wld of ignored us and we’d of been waiting god knows how long 🥰
 
@theniceone thanks for the totally unfair tarring of millions of people who are football fans. I travel regularly on the tube to football and I can honestly say if that did happen, the child (or anyone in that situation) would be cared for and safely looked after until the next station. I've personally helped a young girl who fainted, and an old man who fell and smashed his glasses into his face and on each occasion, many other fans stopped to ask what they could do to help. We're a huge community of people who all have one thing in common. Maybe think before you write next time?
 
Bloody Nora I’d have been a wreck! As your not a drinker I’m hoping your indulging in something you do enjoy this evening as therapy! Xx
 
This happen to me but my oldest was 13 at the time. But I’ve always told the kids to get off at the next stop and don’t move from that same door. It paid off when she did what I told her. Also there is always some good people that will wait for you with your child at the next stop.
 
My daughter jumped off thinking it was our stop and i couldnt get to her fast enough as it was packed and a very lovely woman who was by the doors grabbed her and pulled her back om the train right before the doors closed. I dont think i could have kept it together if the doors had closed on her
 
This happened to me when I was 6 or 7, someone waited with me till my mum came.
I always remember that trip and the lovely person waiting with me.
I still love London and the tube:)
 
Oh bless u.. this happened to me in the early 90's. I'm also a country girl ..but on London underground! I was right behind my mum and sister, when the doors closed. Remember my mum screaming and banging in the doors. She did pull the emergency cord. Luckily, this young couple stayed with me. Very scary x
 
Oh my word! That is terrifying! We were in London for the coronation and that kind of thing worried the life out of me! I think it’s time to start drinking girl!
