You do realise that the kid literally would have only fallen don't you? Kids fall all the time, it's not really a big deal.

38. Only? The 2 year old could have had brain damage, broken a bone or DIE.

Don't be absurd. People fall all the time, especially kids. There are so many people overreacting on here.

You cant fix a child getting permanent brain damage or death.

Which wouldn't happen, because it would only be a little fall.

Yay, a happy ending! I'm glad you were able catch your grandson and save the bunny, that's pretty impressive. I don't think I could've done both.

I'm glad everything worked out well in this case. However, if this is such a common occurrence, the parents should really get a handle on it. This could end in several bad results, a severely injured 2yr old, or a lost/dead bunny. I would explain to the 4yr old why the bunny can't be let outside and what could happen if she does, not in graphic detail or anything. Just ask if she loves and wants to keep her bunny, and that if she continues to let it outside, she will lose it forever.

Because losing a family pet potentially forever is a lot worse than a kid falling. That's why.

There was a choice because there were 2+ actions that you could likely only do one of. Obviously.

46 losing a pet is worse than a child dying? Really?

Depends on whose kid it is and whose pet it is. My pet is more important to me than someone else's child. And don't be dramatic, the kid would have only fallen, they do that all the time.

Guys, neither is great. But what both of you are doing is assuming that the amount of damage will be great or small depending on your view. It could've gone either way, the rabbit may have been run over, but it's what happens sometimes. I'm just glad nobody was hurt in this situation, so why don't we stop fighting and be grateful that the kid didn't suffer from brain damage or a broken arm and that rabbit didn't get killed. I understand for some people animals are important, especially beloved house pets, and that others would sacrifice the rabbit to save the child, but don't fight about it. It's not going to change anything. Just please respect each other's views.

In a life or death situation, certainly. Not in this situation, not in the slightest.

ok but you didn't have to curse about it?
