Lots of little kids give their parents a hard time when it comes to getting dressed and putting shoes on, which is why one Blackpool, England mom didn’t take her daughter seriously when she complained about her shoes.
2-year-old Esmé Connor was celebrating her 2nd birthday when she received a pair of peach colored jelly sandals, but it wasn’t until a few days later, after all the birthday activities subsided, that mom Lisa Connor and her fianceé Niall Cartmell dressed Esmé up in her new shoes.
“On Monday she was moaning and whingeing and I initially put it down to being tired. She was playing in the garden while I did some work and that’s when she came in crying,” Lisa said.
“Esmé was in absolute agony. I couldn’t believe it because she had only been wearing them for half an hour. It’s not like she was running around in them for hours,” mom said. “She was just plodding around the house and then came running in in tears.”
“There was blood all round her ankle and on the soles of her foot. Of course there will be new shoes that rub, but this is ridiculous. There was so much blood and she wouldn’t stop crying. Her dad had to spend an hour calming her down. It spoiled her birthday weekend really,” Lisa said.
“Other parents saw my pictures and messaged me to say they had similar problems. I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else,” mom explained. “I think they should be taken off sale before any more children get hurt. She’s not been able to put any shoes on since.”
