Shocking video: Mom, baby in pram swept away

Published

This is the moment a terrified mother and her helpless baby were almost swept away by a rapidly rising tide.

The young mother is shown losing her footing while pushing her child in a buggy across a causeway in the Firth of Forth.

Both the woman and the pram were submerged in the water before onlookers rushed to their aid.

    Nice to see she grabs her handbag before checking on her child? Surely this can't be real!

    One can only imagine the psychological scars from being swept 2 feet out to sea up to your knees with no bouyancy aid. How did they even find their way back to the path? Did they have a change of clothes to hand? Many questions remain unanswered.

    It never fails to amaze me that during a situation such as this someone gets out the phone and takes a video.

    Gosh what a very scary thing to happen. Personally I think people should be banned from walking over it. Because it looks to close to the sea to me. I think it should be used only in the summertime.

    So exactly how can water that's only up to your ankles sweep you away? From the video, the woman walked right into the deeper water all by herself.

    Absolute madness. Does no-one have any common sense these days? Who in their right mind would walk in the winter with a baby in a pram.

    Is this for real? How come the person videoing just happened to catch the slip into the water.
