Literally saved a child from a falling mannequin because he pushed a leg after I had warned both the father and the kid about it.

Re: children in stores. Craziest thing I've ever witnessed in a retail store regarding a kid:
I was in H&M once and saw a kid who looked to be about 4 (not very old but old enough to understand when you say "don't touch.")
There was a large like 3 foot glass vase thing with bracelets in it. The bracelets in it were plastic and it was just light enough to move when the kid started pushing it. The kid was pushing it toward the edge of the table. Mom was too busy looking at stuff to pay attention.
An employee told him to please stop because it will fall. Then she walked away. Kid keeps doing it. Mom sees, tells him to stop, then turns her back to keep shopping. He continues.
He knocks it over and it shatters, spilling bracelets everywhere.
What does mom do? Laugh. Not say "I'm so sorry!" Not tell her son that that was not a safe thing to do. Laugh.
The manager and another came to try and clean it up. Mom got really mad when they told her something like "ma'am can you please move so we can clean this up?" and ushered her son out of the way so he wouldn't step in it. She left the store in a huff saying that they were rude and inconsiderate because her "son could've gotten hurt" and she would have sued them.
Um, how would that have been the store's fault?
