Three-year-old boy plucked from inside a Hello Kitty claw machine (video)

Surely Fire and Rescue would have been a better choice of emergency service? Or a locksmith.

And that’s the story of how I got a stuffed Pikachu covered in glass bits.

My guess would be that the machine is owned and operated by a third party and the establishment doesn’t have the key. Caveat: read summary, didn’t watch video

I watched the video, and it said nothing about the owner/operators of the machine either. I can only assume that they were contacted, and either said “yeah, break the machine and get the kid out” or “please leave a message at the beep.” /cynical

@Purplecat

Come on, who goes to the trouble of smashing the machine open, only to choose the kid? Get two kitty plushies while you’ve got the chance.

I know! One would think that the video would have shown that, but nooooo…
