This sucks but why play close to a lawnmower

quote:

A 5-year-old girl who was getting ready to graduate kindergarten with her classmates will have to miss the ceremony as she remains hospitalized after a tragic backyard accident. Italia McAllister was playing with her brother after school on May 8 when she was knocked to the ground by a riding lawnmower and her foot got caught in the blade
quote:

“It’s going to be a long road but we’ll be there for her every step of the way,” Cody McAllister, the girl’s father, told Fox 59.
quote:

McAllister said he heard his daughter scream in the backyard and could tell right away that the injury was bad. He said she remembers the accident and is aware that her foot had to be amputated. He and his wife, Robyn, are now warning other parents to beware of dangerous lawnmowers.

So who was driving the mower? The wife? Yard crew? The brother?

Makes it sound like an attack lawnmower.

Lawnmowers can cause harm, but they're not dangerous when operated properly.

How about warn other parents not to neglect your job to watch your kids.

When I was a kid, this guy I knew was on a riding mower when it flipped. It took part of his foot off. Of course he showed us because we were 7 years old. It looked freaky.

Usually a riding lawnmower is in the garage or a shed. You also need a key to start those things. Some major negligence going on.
