A child climbed into a claw machine and managed to get himself stuck. The little guy was apparently incredibly interested in the inner workings of the toy dispenser and soon found himself unable to get out of the machine. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see the child climb into the machine and how he was eventually freed.

Children are inquisitive, curious beings. They are constantly growing, learning and exploring, with their preoccupation for all things new and unfamiliar sometimes getting them in trouble. If and when those youngsters spot a new object, it immediately grabs their attention, and their curious nature takes over.

Every parent knows and understands that children are always ready to explore. When mom or dad turns their head slightly, taking their attention off their little one for a second, that will inevitably be the moment the kiddos run off, setting out on their latest journey. Most of the time, mom and dad can find and redirect their child before they get too far.

However, sometimes the parents aren’t as quick as they’d like, and the children can get away and get themselves in trouble. That is precisely what happened when one little guy saw a claw machine and became intrigued. For some reason, probably because he’s a child and doesn’t know any better, he thought climbing up into the machine was a good idea. As could have been predicted, it turned out that it was not.

The clip shows the little guy slowly approaching the machine. He then slowly, without a moment’s hesitation, and without giving it a second thought, starts to climb, head-first, into it.

One man stops and momentarily stares at the child, who is now standing up in the machine—a most peculiar sight, for sure. Once he sees what is going on, he continues on his way, with the child still in the machine.

Eventually, as the clip points out, first responders had to be called to the scene to rescue the little guy. This is one of those incidents that will make for a funny story for everyone involved way,way down the road.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
