Stanford Shopping Center has recently made news for hiring one of those Lost In Space security robot. The little bugger stands at 5 feet and weighs a massive 300 pounds. Everything started off well enough, but if you’ve watched/read enough science fiction over the years you know that things tend to take a dark turn pretty quick.
The lovable security robot was patrolling the mall when it came face to face with the most evil of ne’er-do-wells; a 16-month year old. The robot must have scanned the kid like Robocop and decided to take action by knocking down the kid, running him over and continuing its patrol. The child must not have complied within Ed 209’s demands.
From KPTV:
“The robot hit my son’s head and he fell down facing down on the floor, and the robot did not stop. And it just kept on moving forward,” said Tiffany Teng.
Harwin’s parents say the robot ran over his right foot, causing it to swell, but luckily caused no broken bones. Harwin also got a scrape on his leg from the incident.
