3-Year-Old Gets Stuck After Crawling Into Claw Toy Machine

A little boy who managed to crawl inside a toy machine had to be rescued by police in Queensland, Australia. The 3-year-old must have caught on to the fact that these claw-type games almost never catches the fluffy prize. So he went inside to fetch one himself and then got stuck. His dad told him to crawl to the back corner and cover his eyes, away from where police broke the glass. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Typically, it's an outside company that restocks these machines. The staff might not have had a key.

[@YellowBaron06]

I don't quite understand how this boy got into that claw machine, but one thing is obvious in my mind: The kid was not in there for the toys. He broke in, using his ingenuity, in order to get an up-close and extensive view of the mechanisms inside the machine. Bettin' a million bucks on in, he was in it 'cause this kid is an aspiring engineer. If someone didn't say/do something sooner (As in getting the police involve), this kid might have squeezed into the wiring like how a rat could slip into the narrowest of crevices. Might even be an aspiring Houdini ✨

First thing they didn’t need to smash it up and they could’ve just use the key and opened it second of all you don’t know what was happening you don’t know if you had more than one kid or what so maybe you shouldn’t be judging people when you don’t know what’s going on
