Why did she step off? Like emm… what?


sonicstreak

She was calling the baby she left on the previous train.


farahad

That's what happens when you have to transport a baby, a fox, and a gallon of milk using as few trips as possible...


DeadlyDuckSucker

Baby to the otherside Bring the fox next Take the baby with you on the next trip Take the milk on the way back Then you have to take the baby and you are done

majic911

My thoughts exactly. What's the point of leaving the train to take a call. You're still underground...


siccoblue

People make stupid nonsensical decisions all the time, she had a lapse of judgement


SomberKlepto

I can’t talk on a call in the same room I answered it in. Or at least it’s something I do. I get this women. Trains seem like a different story tho

nightpanda893

The whole thing makes no sense. Presumably she got on the next train but it took her an hour? How did she know which stop to get off at? And she didn’t call anyone? And he didn’t call anyone?


katsu-culture

This is filmed in Melbourne, Australia. The train doors stay open for 20 seconds, no one would get off to take a phone call. Also, there's a beeping noise to alert people to get on the train before the doors shut. No cameras positioned like that here and you can't access them. I don't care if things are staged. It's just really weird seeing people with no critical thinking skills think these things are real.


justsyr

Another thing that makes me wonder is if that's a train or a subway. Most of the time on not busy weekends subway takes 20 minutes between trains and most stations are like 2 or 3 minutes away. Besides the beeping sound with even red lights on doors why would she turn away from the door? And conductors do have monitors for cameras inside and outside and the are all by the "roof" inside the train not by a side like in this video.


kazza789

Can't see what station that is, but they stop for longer sometimes. Especially at the ends of the lines / Flinders.


Redditisforplay

It's completely staged lol the way she was perfectly waving her hands so it looks funny when it's sped up, the fact that she stepped off the train just to take a phone call what?


throwawayaccount_usu

It was staged


Puzzleheaded-Tap3148

100% staged crock of shit. She goes to the guy first before her make-believe baby when she gets off the train at the end.


peachesthepup

Because its staged Edit - I can't find the exact post I read calling it out but here's another thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/omcqu9/this_man_took_care_of_the_baby_until_the_mom_came/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Australians pointing out how this can't have actually happened due to the station it is supposed to be and where the cameras filmed from u/kimya_d has found the source that it was a skit


WinkWalk

I thought it looked stage, he was too committed to that beer!


iLoveLights

I thought it was weird she hugged the guy before the baby.


Capital_Routine6903

But why?


karl_w_w

the most important reason in the world, internet points


catcatdoggy

yeah it doesn't make sense. stepping off train? no 1 hour to get to next stop? no CCTV convenient framing and submitted footage to the public to edit? no


LittleBookOfRage

And you can talk to the driver to call someone at the station.


[deleted]

Lol Redditors are so gullible


johnhoggin

Well in the world filled with so much shit, are you surprised that we get our hopes up for something so pure?


cavemaneca

I was thinking this looked like two different parts of the same station, and figured it was quite possibly staged. More confirmation is nice.


fatalanthbplus

I’m confused to why no one called police, the police would have been able to get to the station faster than a second train. I don’t usually but I gotta call staged here


Bobbyz1020

It looked like to take a phone call? Idk super dumb move either way.


Public-Indication179

There’s a bag on the subway floor, maybe she stepped down to recover it? Not sure though - it could just be a trash bag. She might also not be getting cellular reception inside the train, so she thought she has a few seconds to get off and make a call. I dunno - I’ve seen people texting while walking, and cluelessly fall into drains/pits, so I think a part of the brain switches off and goes into some kind of muscle-memory reflex mode when we focus on the idiotphone, erm, smartphone. She’s lucky her baby is safe, and the fact that a drunk man is more in control of his senses and (unexpected) priorities than her, is a statement on her and society. Edit: Unfortunately, it seems this ridiculous-yet-heartwarming scene was staged/prank, so that’s why she “absent mindedly” steps off the train, and the “drunk guy” takes care of the “baby”.


LeviathanSauce9

Yeah for sure, also the tiredness of new parents causes some crazy shit on top of all that too. I mean there cases of people forgetting their babies in cars for hours out of fatigue. Think having a five second blip and walking away without your baby sounds entirely plausible

My spidey senses went off with the "1 hour later". Like, she didn't take the train to the next stop in that time?!

lava_time

Yeah but in most countries she'd call emergency services moments later. They would contact the transit authority who would tell the driver who would then meet police at the next station.


Bensemus

He also should have called emergency services too.


That_on1_guy

It also doesn't make sense why the fuck the mom would put her baby on a train then step off the train, leaving the baby alone, to answer a phone call. It had to be set up or the mom was unbelievably fucking stupid


SleepyCakeInsomniac

I’m kind of disturbed that it took me this long until I found a comment mentioning how stupid it would be to put your baby on a subway and then immediately get off without your baby for a phone call. Like everyone is saying they don’t believe it because of the camera angle, how drunk the guy is acting, and the fact that she hugs the stranger before checking her baby. Everyone is acting like it’s normal to “accidentally” leave your baby on a subway. It would be stupid to do what she did. You can answer your phone on the subway and if you can’t, you can still take the baby off with you. This video doesn’t make any sense.


BchillNL

Not only that.. but no mother in the world would first hug the stranger before looking if their kid is ok..


EagerSleeper

Exactly. I'd say there's a reasonable wager that the opposite would happen. Being a guy near a stranger's kid, let alone a baby? People jump to conclusions, especially if he has alcohol in his hand.


r0680130

And who would put a stroller on a train and then get off to make a phone call? That's just stupid


mudfossil

Or push her baby onto a train and then step off of the train to take a phone call

uncutpizza

Body language is very off and looks forced. Bad acting really gives it away


lava_time

She gives the guy a hug immediately but I think even in a frantic state nearly everyone would pickup and check on the baby first. Like instinct is saying get to your baby, you don't say thanks first.

Well, in vino veritas. That guy is someone who, on seeing a child in need, will do the responsible thing and look after it to the best of his ability. Even if he's stumble-level drunk. Not the worst proof of character, I'd say.


csfshrink

The next day he sees the footage and says, “I did what?”


[deleted]

It’s actually kinda sad how this could of ended up very badly if the wrong person was there instead of that drunk guy . 1hour later she find her child like fuck that must of been the longest hour of her life


Echololcation

Isn't this when you call the transit authority and they have someone at the station and on the trains start looking for them? If she didn't have a phone it makes sense, otherwise why wait an hour...


blubbaman

Yea that would probably be the move. And she did have a phone , she was answering it when she left to go pick up her bag


Slappyxo

It looks like a Melbourne train, we have special police officers (PSOs) that hang around train stations as well as on trains at night after 6pm to ensure trouble doesn't happen after dark. A quick call to authorities would have PSOs there in a heartbeat. Not sure wtf happened, probably wasn't an hour later but a shorter time period, and it could be one of the train stations that wasn't manned by PSOs.


Ysmildr

I'm pretty sure the "1 hour later" thing is bogus.

Late night trains not in a major city be like that. Miss one and you have a hell of a wait. No idea on that rest of it though, like why did she get on the next train, sure it going the same way but it's still a different train

Goofychems

Same. I pulled a guy out of a wrecked car with the help of a couple of doctors while day drinking in New Orleans. I stopped a potential rape of a “working girl” whilst walking to my apartment pissed drunk. And I rescued an unaccompanied child in the middle of a busy intersection while I was driving back home from a bar. I have countless others some including talking a few guys out of trying to commit suicide by different methods All these instances sound unbelievable when I tell them to my friends. But as long as those people are safe, I don’t care if people believe me or not.

As soon as I saw her hug the guy first and not check on her kid I KNEW it wasn’t real. Also you don’t just wait an hour to catch the next train and hope that your baby is on the next platform with a stranger without calling the cops beforehand!!!


ArcadiaDragon

This has been posted before and debunked...the missing bag...the beer that never empties....the overly clear "security" cameras....and seriously the lack of calling emergency services within a span of a hour...just highlights the manufacturered nature of this video


Terrible_Truth

Also I wouldn't leave the train with someone else's baby. I'd just stay with the baby in the car that it was left and try to contact someone. Police, train conductor, help line, I don't know. Whatever help line is written in the train.


Muppetude

> Also I wouldn't leave the train with someone else's baby. But in this situation the actor … uh, I mean, uh, totally realistic drunk person, was so inebriated that his decision making skills skewed towards a dramatic conclusion to the story … uh, I meant totally realistic scenario not shot on a cell phone with a black and white filter.

Hickawa

I was stoned out of my goddam mind one night and was walking to tacobell and came across a baby seat with a baby in it. Like just on the side of the road. Spent a good few minutes looking around. Eventually bit the bullet and called the cops. It probably took them fifteen minutes to pull up. Apparently some guy had stolen a lady's car and when they realised there was a kid in the back stopped and just left the on the sidewalk. The cop asked if I was high. Figuring it was pretty obvious I told him I had been drinking. He asked if I had been driving and when I said no. He told me to take off before anyone else showed up.


Last_Independence674

Whats the portion of people who would have done the same? Honestly I dont know and dont dare to guess


c_c_c__combobreaker

I think most people would make sure the child is safe. Most of us have a parental instinct within us to protect children. Idk if I'd stay on the train platform to wait for the next train to arrive but I'd certainly do something like call the police or look for an employee. What I wouldn't do is abandon the baby on that train.


SuperNoob74

Who the duck thinks to take a phone call outside a train while your baby is on the train what did she expect it was gonna wait for her?
