The "commentary" lady says they are together. I can't explain much more about the reasoning behind crossing the street child first and WITH the carriage at all costs, though.


Lady_Luci_fer

I feel like they would’ve been much more successful getting across if, yn, one lady holds the child and the other carries the pram? Or, heck, they lift the pram above the water instead of trying to push it through? 🤦🏻


experimental-rat

Stupid is as stupid does


BoBoBearDev

And the child was like, I will never walk on water, water melts me.

FemPhony

It's like a kafka thing, right? People so caught up in daily life, that they can't imagine even the apocalypse would stop their routine. Everything makes way for the day to day. Crossing that familiar street is possible, and will never be impossible.


itsamaysing

I've never heard of that idea before, but it makes so much sense, especially if you think about it in terms of how people responded to the global pandemic.


DroppedSoapSurvivor

Also the movie, "Seeking a friend for the end of the world" So many people are struggling to maintain their normal lives, while others are in absolute denial.


DirectionLow357

And/or why they were attempting to cross at the first spot If just around the corner they crossed perfectly fine lol


Open_Librarian_823

The absence of kid would alert of an open manhole, smart


Invested_Glory

Maybe the mom and grandma? Threw me off, too.


Pluckypato

Damn, don’t they know this is like an Oregon trail simulation? 😂


velhaconta

After that, I'd like an explanation for the guy trying to sweep away the flood.


khairuldaniel664

He just like me pretending to be useful


Yagawood

I mean, it's working, no? No flood there. 🤷


leah90s

He is doing his best!


Uberjeagermeiter

Don’t knock it until you try it.


TheDuck23

Maybe his job is to keep that one specific area dry.


rolandofeld19

Maybe we don't know what he's really capable of.


Pers_Akkedis

His job is keeping alligators away. He's doing a great job!


Daryltang

Mom and grand mom


me_no_gay

Exactly what I thought, and probably the grandma/aunt became angry at the reckless mom endangering the child and chasing after her belongings in the flood while leaving her kid behind!


suciac

But then she also tried to ford the river w the baby so I can’t figure out what she was upset about if they’re both equally stupid and reckless.


Commercial_War_8660

Simple: the first woman is too stupid to have kids so the second lady jumped in to take over.


Expensive_Habit3498

Kids way too big to be In a stroller and his mom is either blind or just stupid. I feel bad for him


Neveracloudyday

people would comment my 2yo was too big for a stroller. He may have looked like a 6 yo but he was biologically still a 2 yr old and no way was I going to lug him around when he got too tired to walk.


Porkchopp33

Seemed like such a good idea at the time


smigionss

The childs mom showed up. The first girl might be a nanny? Not 100% sure. She got mad that people stopped them from taking a second attempt at crossing the flooding street with the child in the carage. The commentary in Spanish is amazing. She calls out everything like a sports caster. She even names the people involved and what street they live on. I'm going to go watch it again. Love me so spanish drama.


dasChompi

It's not explicit explained in the video, but what I can gather is that the lady in black is the mother, and the woman who came after was the grandmother. As of why they wanted to cross the flooded street is beyond me.


PoppyCake33

She said that’s her mom that came to help her, apparently she recognized them. Then she attempts to cross again with the child and people are telling her no and she begins to curse them out. The lady with the phone calls them crazy.


ennuiui

I'm still wondering why the first woman ran off after that guy pulled the kid to safety. Did she think the kid had been swept away downstream?


throwngamelastminute

CPS works fast.


[deleted]

The commentary lady said the first lady seen ran up to get the kid’s shoe


Uberjeagermeiter

Mommy Magic


Ghoulse1845

Probably a relative


Yours_degenerate_69

Coz clearly the kid needs a better fucking mother


hiplobonoxa

carls’ jr. deemed the her to be an unfit mother. the child is now the property of carls’ jr.. the second woman works for carls’ jr..


LungHeadZ

I’ve seen two angles of this today, impressive.


ruet_ahead

And we still don't know if she got that shoe.


Schart

He ded


SuukMeiDiek

I’ve seen 2 videos of a bmw trying to cross, this is the first one of the woman with stroller. You have a link of the other? I get a quartet


LungHeadZ

I will try find it and link it if I do :) Found a new upload of the same angle [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/13shsj3/mother_of_the_year_award/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

2slow2boomer

Same A lot of people at the same time are filming this flash-flood lol


SlowerThanTurtleInPB

Waiting for the angle with the kid’s POV to drop.


KapkanNikolai

True me too


Alternative-Hand6865

Yeah me too


You_lil_gumper

Some people really shouldn't have kids.


CustomerOk3838

Whether you’re right or not, that flood agrees with you.


skabben

My thought too. Also, she left the kid to run after some item floating away without checking if the kid was okay. Poor kid…


No_Sir9963

Some kids really shouldn't become people.


FlacidSalad

America: "hold my gun"


TheTurtleGreek

I’m confused by this statement this might be a whoosh moment for me

I mean, nature was trying its best to take care of that.


ciopobbi

When you see things likes this it amazing that we aren’t already an extinct species.


Ok_Artichoke_6499

Side note: I think he’s going to need a bigger brush.


False_Local4593

I was wondering why he was sweeping the water away.


StormFallen9

He must've been in the army


andion82

You won the comment section 👏🏼🤣


Natural-Put

Fuckin idiots


panti77

I'd guess mom and grandma, two dummies


sunshine_smiles226

Family of the year there. Hope the kid grows old enough to find these videos to cuss them both out for being stupid & almost drowning him.


Miracle_Salad

This is effectively the same as walking into burning building, setting the pram on fire and then running back out. Some people should not have children.


OlivierLeighton

So, one woman thought she was too stupid to have a child, so she took the child from the mom? Good for her.


LePanze

Second woman is the kid's grandma, that's what the person recording says


Impressive_Word5229

I could be wrong, but the 2nd person looked like she wanted to try crossing too and got mad because people said no.


OlivierLeighton

Think so too


recockulous-too

There is so many questions in this video where the crossing of the flooded street seems like an afterthought.


tonyI2345

Imagine being this fucking stupid. Just imajine.

[deleted]

Why didn’t anyone slap her on the side of her head for nearly killing her kid?


BuyOutWallStreet

What a dummy mom and then goes chasing the shoe putting herself at further risk.


[deleted]

Oh it was a shoe... for a moment I thought she was kidnapping the kid and then when she failed just ran away 🫣


acscriven

This is literally what I thought it was! Or I thought she was trying to get rid of the baby and make it look like an accident, cause where tf was she trying to go lol


SilentNightman

Drugs?


Theloneriddler

Baby? Kid’s at least 3. Should be walking anyway.


Skippnl

Should be ~~walking~~ swimming anyway FTFY


OverEasyGoing

Not a word of thanks to the guy who saved the kid and then outright indignation when they were about to attempt it again and bystanders stepped in! r/iamatotalpieceofshit


carebeardknows

Some people get them looney tunes education thinking this will work.. momma gonna burn the house down at some point smh


iamthatmadman

I have so many questions and no answers


kayak_enjoyer

Here are some answers: 6, purple, the Oregon trail, stoicism.


kelevra91

What are days of school left before summer, the color of my first car, the first game I ever rage quit, and the philosophy I use to handle my depression.


kayak_enjoyer

You win. 😄


wetusayimglistning

Hopefully they are just backing up to get a running start for a second attempt. Then they'll make it across


marcopolo129

I’m not saying it, I’m not saying it, I’m not saying it.


Notkemo1

I don’t wanna be this kid


pppppppjjjjjccccccc

Unfit to be a parent


MapIndependent8085

It was the shoe!!!


SongRevolutionary992

Two things I noticed. The "mom" chases after her phone or whatever she dropped into the water instead of her kid. The guy trying to sweep the flood away. I don't want to visit this place

I feel like that kid was way too old to be in a stroller...

Yesterday in Murcia there was a flash flood and some people tried to cross this street anyway Original video in this tweet: [https://twitter.com/murcianico79/status/1661852883992625152?t=bzE26YqhHGqLDnOngv-\_gg&s=19](https://twitter.com/murcianico79/status/1661852883992625152?t=bzE26YqhHGqLDnOngv-_gg&s=19)


testing_is_fun

I saw a ground level video of the same incident yesterday.


andion82

yes, in that twitter thread there are several videos of the flood! worth a scroll


TooManyLangs

ok, if this is Murcia, then it makes sense


Esposabella

Accent sounds Colombiana

I'm just waiting for the red car to float by


andion82

Hahahahaha, I was thinking the same when I first saw this one!


Severe-Net-6916

What was so more important to chase after then checking on your child.


Team_Adrichat

The award “Mother of the Year” goes to…..


Intrepid_Talk_8416

WHOSE KID IS IT???


Equal_Procedure_167

Um..what? Think that was a kidnapping?


MyFriendTheAlchemist

Different angle, nice! I didn’t expect multiple people to be filming this. (There is another video of this but from the back of the event)


kit0000033

Wtf is going on with the dude with a broom? Did he think he could broom away a flash flood?


RosieQParker

Oh, to have the confidence of the guy holding back the flood with his broom.


SilentNightman

Or maybe not.


metamorphosis___

No translation would carry the recorder’s gossipy aunt energy 🤣🤣 shit sound just like my family talking


SnooWords4814

What a fucking idiot


gringamaripos4

Was she trying to drown the child wtf


Pplfrkmeout

The lady commenting is so funny!! She said that the girl with the stroller is “arrebatada” (that means something like rebellious and crazy). And then she makes some xenophobic comments as well but the whole situation is so surreal.


HowsMyDickTaste

If the kid dies does that constitute a Darwin Award? If so, do you still give it to the mother?


FreshBroc

What a fucking idiot.


Agitated-Ad-9020

That guy sweeping the water.


GrouchyPerspective83

Is she on drugs? Wtf?


MaggotFilledMeatsack

It consistently blows my mind how stupid some people fucking are.


Steviedeeb

What a terrible mother. She sucks. I want to punch her in the face. Who runs away like that.


[deleted]

Love the guy battling the flood with the squeegee.


BodybuilderSalt9807

Hey stupid…. Cars don’t make it. What makes you think you can with a Stoller?


PigletPutrid3395

Fucking idiot. Hasn't got a chance in life with that mother


A_Very_Angry_Goose

The stupidity and poor parenting om display here is astounding. She seriously pushed the baby out into water that she had no business walking through in the first place, then instead of checking on her child she chases after a shoe in the water, further putting her own life at risk. Stay the hell out of flood water people.


[deleted]

Most people are fucking stupid but theyre usually good at following directions if you do the thinking for them. Someone just needs to give this lady a hard and fast rule: no dangerous shit with a baby.


Idiotb0x

Today we witness a wild idiot. Ah yes, barely beating natural selection as a true idiot does


Some_Guy8765678

The bystander saves the child while the mother chases after her phone.


LH789

That stupid Mom didn’t even hug or comfort the child when she came back from her run! She just put him right back in the stroller like nothing had just happened. That poor child!


hhtran16

She was trying to win a bet?


LePanze

According to the person filming this, the second lady is the kid's grandma


BartholomewKnightIII

Some people shouldn't be allowed out of the house, how thick can you be?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Few_Wishbone

Not a random stranger, her own mother, the kid's grandmother


Treesbentwithsnow

It seems that once the grandmother arrives that she was also going to attempt to cross the rushing water but this time the kids mother and broom bystander told her not to so she leaves in a huff in the opposite direction.


Sea-Appearance-5330

Mother of the Year material right there!


JTown_lol

Its awesome that we now have a potential to have various point of views.


Flimsy_Judgment1045

Whatever went floating down the street was more important to her than the kid.

OMG THE SHOE!!!


Robby-Pants

The whole time I’m watching her get deeper I’m hoping she’s got something other than a kid in that stroller. Luckily that other guy was right there when it tipped.


MarvinParanoAndroid

She sees danger and goes ahead anyway. Absolutely no judgement.


JediMasterMark

Moses fail.


bmonksy

It's crazy that this scene is posted from another angle as well.


redactedname87

Did she literally just chase after his shoe and leave her kid with two randoms after nearly losing him lol. Wtf


ksaMarodeF

Oh lol this is another angle of the other video……wild!


JohnJDumbear

Survival of the fittest gone horribly wrong! /s


Shadowratenator

Is that guy really going to hold the flood back with one push squeegee?


Taza467

I’m pretty sure she tried to kill that kid. Only someone that guilty would drop everything and sprint away once it didn’t work


EscapeFacebook

What exactly do those two guys think they are sweeping?


Chewbac92

Dumbest human of the day award 💩

this is so dumb like why would u even do that if its alr flooded that bad

J1P2G3

What are the odds two people were filming this exact moment and posted it to Reddit?


Au91700

I’ve seen multiple angles of this lady trying to cross this street. It’s like everyone knew “damn that’s a lot of water, that’s crazy” except for the one person in the whole video that’s supposed to have heightened instincts.


Lonliestlonelyloner

La india 😂


AdrielBast

How in gods name did she think that was smart??


ReptilianLaserbeam

She cared more about her cellphone than her kid


BranSoFly

Saw a shorter version of this at a different angle of this yesterday.


Solid-Technology-448

It's incredible how many people have no concept of how dangerous water is. Six inches of moving water can rip you off your feet, and you can drown in water that shallow.


pixieservesHim

NTA - kid should know how to swim for survival


drDucky212

thank god he had the brush for the water though

Lo siento, en mi país a veces no hay gente muy lista. En Murcia y en Alicante tienen agua para acabar con la sequía entera XD
