(Seriously, though, I was having a heart attack right at the beginning when the kid's walking backwards. When I see that, I always feel like I've got two seconds to act, but it'll take me ten seconds to get there. Yep, I'm that guy.)

No parent in sight. I told her to stop and shouted where are your parents she ran away and when I got to the top I saw her mother holding a younger child yelling at the girl. I really wanted to yell at that woman but she looked frazzled and had a total of 4 children under the age 7. I didn’t want to give her more stress. But the little girl could have been seriously hurt on that escalator.
