Why would anyone put that on the internet?
Exactly. It's like they are proud of how bad they are at being parents.
1. Didn't anchor dresser to wall.
2. Weren't watching 2 year olds. They weren't even in earshot to hear the little one crying his head off or the loud crash of a dresser falling down.

I read an article about this today, twin rescues brother from under dresser. Was thinking what a mess bolting furniture to walls might be when you want to rearrange the room. A thought, straps like seatbelt material bolted to the top back of the furniture and bolted to the floor. Just thinking here, would that work? Maybe floor holes would not be a good idea. Easier than than, child proof door locks. I think the furniture falls because a child opens a drawer and climbs in it.
Maybe the straps bolted to an attachment secured to the floor. Furniture would be easy to move and floor attachment could be small enough not to be a problem, since it would be against floor molding.??

How about just teaching your kids not to climb on furniture

All it takes is a nickel sized hole in the wall to secure something like that. Its an easy fix to repair the hole.
Back to the video though, I almost feel like this is staged. The dresser is completely empty and the doors are open almost begging for the kids to climb up them. Why else would you post this video? I know that my wife and I don't hurry up to go post "bad parenting" videos like this.
ETA: Many real wood dressers when full are hard to actually do this too as they are too heavy.

I just saw this on Fox News.
If I were the parents, I wouldn't show my face in public after that incident.

His twin brother is the goat for pushing that dresser of him... 
Side note: those people look like classic Mormons...

His brother was trying to figure out why the noise machine had stopped working. It was unplugged from both the wall behind the dresser and on the noise machine itself. He even climbed on the dresser adding weight on top of his twin in an effort to turn back on the noise machine.
The parents are extremely lucky nothing worse happened.

Looks like they're in an airport....
Who the hell is carrying all that shite they have... Car seats, luggage, baby stroller.... someone's missing in that pic... Probably the nanny taking the pic...
and who brings car seats to an airport...?

yeah
the dresser in my daughters room isn't anchored, but I'm quite certain I could jump in the top drawers and it wouldn't flip over

The dad probably did like most men when assembling furniture and took that bag with the strap and screw and tossed it.
Yes anything with drawers or taller than 4' should be anchored.

I was expecting to see a herculean effort of the one toddler to lift the dresser off of his brother.

I think they just feel like they avoided a major tragedy and wanted to share their experience in order to raise awareness.
This also happened to my co-worker recently. Her kid was o.k. as well but she said that it scared the hell out of her. I had never even heard of wall anchors before she mentioned it but this is apparently a pretty common occurrence.
