My daughter had an accident [protected] at this Walmart store #1804. She was sitting on the bottom edge of the cart while I was looking at an item on the shelf and she rolled the cart and got her index finger stuck in the wheel and the metal piece and it ripped her fingernail down to her first knuckle. We went to the front of the store so I could better access the finger in the bathroom. It was worse than I thought. We went out because I was going to leave my cart up front and a manager and two other staff members were waiting for me. They were very helpfull in getting my four (4) year old daughter calmed down enough to bandage the finger and get our information. I was told a call back would be given to me that following Sunday to check on her. I informed them I wanted a claim filed and I was taking her to the hospital. The co-manager was very helpful and directed me to do such as well.
The problem started when no call back was given to me and when I called Monday I got a lady who was not to eager to talk to me and said I hope she is doing better. I asked for claim information and she said I would receive a call in a few days. No cal came and I called on [protected] three times to no avail because she was in the office and no one else could speak with me regarding the issue.
I finally get a response on the 24th of May only to tell me that they needed to file the info and someone would call me. I stated I was told that last week. She said she would get it initiated.
This is a 4 year old girl, who yes shouldn't have been sitting on the cart but had an accident and no one is taking responsibility on getting this resolved. Her fingernail had to be surgically removed and stiched back on to avoid her nail bed from being damaged any further then it already had. A four year old girl who now has to worry about her nail looking ugly.
I am going everywhere I can to file a complaint-this is ridiculous customer service. This is supposed to be a family store but they have no care in the world! I fear what they do for other chidren who have accidents with there non-children friendly shopping carts!
A concerned and pissed Mother- Meagan S.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Melvin, I have been falsly accused of worse than a drug user, by NonnieMouse and her other alies Tracy, Shoelady200.

Melvin, as Trevor told you in another letter, if they did not want us to use profanity on this site, or if they did not want us to accuse each other of drug abuse than they would filter such words.

I made a good point there. lol.
Maegan, you claim to not know the original poster, yet you are posting your comments under that screen name. It is always best to log out first, then log back in under the 'hidden' name if you don't want to get caught replying to your own comments. That is how you got busted.

That is why she should be sober when she posts, that way she can keep track of what username she is using. Sorry if this offends you Melvin.
what is meth and why is everyone saying she is high on meth.

I sure hope she did not injure her child on purpose as a hoax. If she did she is no parent in my opinion. I don't think the accident was set up, done on purpose. Than again I could be wrong. There have been parents who set their children up to get hurt just so they can make money, in some cases hurt them themselves claiming they "fell" off ladders when they wer pushed off after being told by the parent to climb the ladder. However she does noeed to take responsibility and stop acting like a child by accusing me of abusing my son, because I would rather die than abuse my son.
alas, munchausen syndrome, more like ###ed in the head syndrome.
i researched that "syndrome" online, why don't they just call it child abuse, there is no illness which would cause you to harm your child for attention to yourselff.
Some would say that's a delicious idea.
ONG maegan/meagan-you were busted so just give it a rest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kind of like the BenYankinself/Nancy Young slip up, funny how they both disappeared at round the same time.
Not only that they "both" reappear at te same time.
The parent is defective here, NOT the cart and I do NOT work for Walmart. I actually hate walmart, but the mother is looking for free money...BOTTOM LINE. I hope her little girl is ok, but the store is NOT at fault. THE PARENT WHO LET THEIR KID RIDE ON THE CART IN A WAY NOT INTENDED is at fault.
Any mirror you look in will show you the guilty party.SUE YOURSELF.
With 6 kids, I know the rules. You messed up, NOT the store. They are worried you will sue...Well you will not get a dime if I am on the jury and I would bill you for the mess in the store and any 1st aid.
People! you need to understand, this is a four year old child! Not an adult, if it was me, I would look for a lawyer and at least ask for the hospital bill to be paid, stop blaiming the mother! again this is a four year old child, children are always getting hurt, it is a part of life, yes walmart should be responsable, that is what they have insurance for, it is not like they are a mom and pop country store, get a life walmart! as much money as people are cheated when they pay for their items, walmart shouldn't even have to pay from their insurance the money they cheat people out of is pitieful, not even to mention the items that never make to your home, that you paid for, yes get a lawyer to take matters in hand!
Anyone notice that anyone gunning for MeaganS4- pretty much believe WalMart should pay the bills because they have the money to do it?
I worked for WalMart for 5 and a half years. I can tell you when people win $ from their lawsuits it comes out of the employees pockets. They are not getting rich working there. That money comes from profits yes, which is apart of their profit sharing- aka RETIREMENT. Why should the employees pay because a parent didn't leave their child home with a sitter or family member, since she didn't want to pay attention to her child?
I also like how Meagan keeps defending herself with, the child did it, I didn't see it, I didn't know. The finger in the picture looks painful! Yes, things happen when we turn our backs for 1 second with kids. Kids do things all the time that get themselves hurt or in trouble. Meagan isn't the only one to pull this. It happens all too often.
I just hope the child in the picture is ok.
I SEE THIS KIND OF SITUATION WITH PARENTS SHOPPING WITH THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN IN ALL SORTS OF STORES FROM NORDSTROM'S TO THE WALMART STORES. I AM SORRY TO SAY, BUT SMALL CHILDREN MUST BE ATTENDED...NOT BY WALMART, BUT BY THEIR PARENTS. I FEEL BADLY FOR A SINGLE -PARENT, , , , , , , , , MOM IS TRYING TO ENJOY HER HOUR OR SO OUT OF THE HOUSE EVEN THO IT IS ONLY GROCERY SHOPPING, ETC., BUT THAT IS SOMEWHAT AN OXYMORON, DON'T YOU THINK?! THE IDEA OF A PARENT BEING ABLE TO TAKE A 'TIME OUT' WHILE SHOPPING, AND SIMPLY PUTTING THE CHILD ON "AUTO-PILOT"; WELL IT SELDOM ENDS UP WITH ANY-ONE ENJOYING THEIR SHOPPING TRIP, BUT INSTEAD IT ENDS UP, , , , , IT ENDS UP, , , , , , , WELL, IT ENDS UP LIKE THE SITUATION WE HAVE RIGHT HERE: A 'POOR' PARENT, SHORT ON $$$, SO NO CHILD-SITTER; SHORT ON BRAIN-POWER, SO NO CHILD-CARE-EXCHANGE W/OTHER PARENTS; INSTEAD, DRAGGING THE "CHILD-NOW-TURNED-AFTER-THOUGHT', TO THE SUPREMELY IMPORTANT TASK OF CHOOSING A NEW PAIR OF $3.00 TENNIS SHOES FOR MOM. SO THE KID STICKS HER/HIS ...APPENDAGE WHERE IT SHOULDN'T BE, AND NOW THERE IS CRYING, AND WHINING, AND SCREAMING, AND SHRIEKING, AND I DONT MEAN THE KID! BECAUSE THE STORE, ALTHOUGH ULTRA CONCERNED, SURELY MUST OWE THAT PARENT A "BIG - FAT - CHECK!' OH, PLEASE, PARENTS, WALMART OWES YOU NOTHING! NOW, SHUT-UP! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY POOR SOUL WHO IS SHOPPING THAT AFTERNOON. YOUR KIDS ARE RUNNING, AND SCREAMING, AND WHINING, BANGING INTO ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE WITH THE CARTS... AND BASICALLY, MAKING EVERYONE IN THE STORE ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE! WHAT, YOU CANT AFFORD A SITTER? THEN, GO HUNGRY! THEN TRADE WITH SOMEONE. MAYBE YOU ENJOY THEIR NOISE AND TANTRUMS, BUT MANY OF THE REST OF US DO NOT ! FOR HOLY CRAP'S SAKE, LEAVE THOSE OVER-VALUED, AREN'T THEY 'SO CUTE', OVER-RATED LITTLE JACK-### AT HOME.
Do I need to repeat my self, this is a four year old child and not an adult, this is not a mom and pop store, they make billions a year. Stop blaming the mother. It is no way the mother's fault. Children get hurt all the time it is a part of life and Wal-mart should be responsible for what happened to this four year old child. It is pitieful. They need to get a life and admit it is their fault the four year old got hurt. She needs to get a lawyer an present her case.
tamiLOL,
I don't see a problem with the mother taking her child to the store. You can turn your eye for a second and a child can get hurt, part of life. However there are warnings to sit the child properly. This mother knew she was wrong. I don't know why Terance Gomeze is siding with the mother. If he had read the letter he would realise that the mother was not following safety procedures that the mother is not to blame. I agree children get hurt all the time. However in this case the child would not have gotton hurt if they were seated properly. People like Meagan and Terance need to learn to take responsibility for their actions.
Oh, now I see it.
Maegans4/Ms Rankin/ Terance
I will address this to all "three" of you. It appears that Meagans4 created two other accounts to support her letter. You need to take responsibility for your actions as I said. You let your child sit at the bottom of the buggy where she was not to sit. You admit yourself she was sitting at the bottom of the cart when she should not have been.
The best way to take resonsiibilty for your actions is by not creating other accounts and pretending to be other people, because frankly you are not good at hiding your true identity. At first I thought that a family member was sticking up for you. However it is quite obvious that you are pretending to be two other people who suppport you.
I am new to the respond about the 4 year old hurting herself on the wheel of a Wal-Mart cart is a very, very, irresponsible mother. When I look at the finger on the picture at the nail why did I see a nail and a little briusing around the nail bed. Want you just admit it Wal-Mart should pay you for your mistake to ease the hurt you are suffering for hurting your daughter. Well I forgive you MeaganS4 for causing your daughter harm and making a fool of yourself by posting it to get forgiveness from other.
Lady this is your fault.You are the reason why insurance is so freaking high.SUE HAPPY people like you wanting a free ride at your poor daughters exspense.Shame on you.I raised 5 children and I would never let my child ride on the front of the cart. I think children services need to be contacted to check you out .To see if their is neglect going on in your home.
cupcake1982
I agree with what you said that the mother should take responsibility, however to have children's services investigate for neglect. You are a parent, you should know that children get injured. Sometimes the second you turn your back they get into mischief. If you were to call children's services everytime a child got hurt because a parent was not there you would be calling them on every parent in America, because let's face it children(especially boys) are prone to accidents.
Louis, I think she wants to have people see her side, and by creating other accounts she is hoping people will think they are opinions from different people and change their views.
Mom is obviously the negligent party here. She will sue, Walmart will settle to avoid high court costs, she will get a few bucks...which will likely recirculate right back into walmart. But it really is a win-win for all. Except for the child. And the taxpayers.
What ever happened to getting a babysitter for your young child! Even when my son was a baby I did not take him shopping with me. Why do people find it necessary to subject other people to your children who are crying, screaming running up and down the isle, crawling in and around the clothing what is it with you folks?
The only time my son went shopping with me is when he needed shoes. If he was in a cart his "BUTT" stayed in the cart, I did not let hiim run around the store in or around the clothes.
My service dogs act better than most kids...and I am proud to say so. I have had hundreds of people come up to me and comment on how well my service andimal behaves. AND I JUST BLEAM WITH "PRIDE"
TAKE SOME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! Your 4yr old was being careless-that doesn't make it Wal Mart's fault. When you have a 4yr old, guess what mom-Your In Charge! I've never worked for Wal Mart, and have raised two sons to the ages of 17 & 21. While in my care, I and I alone was responsible for their care, and their actions when they were very young. Once my youngest fell off a park bench and kissed the pavement. Thank God he wasn't hurt bad, but the blame of what happened to him was his dumb mom who set him somewhere that was iffy for his age and then didn't pay enough attention. Doesn't matter that I was attending to my other child. I and I alone shouldn't have put him on the bench in the first place! He was too young. My Fault! People have got to stop expecting someone else to take responsibility for their own stupid or careless or whatever actions!
This is the same type of thing where a person sues BK for making them FAT. YOUR responsibility in this situation-- it's really just common sense which is part of good parenting. WalMart is avoiding you because if they don't, some skank lawyer will find a way to make them pay. WalMart doesn't owe you ANYTHING beyond what they have already done! People like this is why insurance and legal help is bankrupting the system.
God people put a sock in it. I have had my share of problems with the local walmart hear in my town. The employees are over worked and often lied to by their own managers, employees are also encouraged to lie on walmarts side or lose their jobs. To get back on track here. 4yr olds will often do things in a split second re-guardless of weather or not you are watching them or not. That does not make Meagan a bad mother having been a mother of 2 the youngest of which is now 16. I understand how that could have happened. It does not make her a bad mother or a neglectful one. Yes the child shouldn't have sat on the bottem. My son when he was that age would do things I told him not too. With a child that young and yet big enough to not be able to put them in to the cart seat safely it is easy for them to do something so quickly and get hurt like that even if you are keeping an eye on them. Walmart will take the most exspedent way out and will turn a situation like that back on the parent every time just like some of you. It wouldn't have hurt them to at least have followed through and called to check on the child. Each store has to keep its injury lists down to 0 for employees as well as customers or it effects the end of the year bonuses.
If mom had not allowed her 4 year old to sit where she didn't belong, this would not have happened. Not necessarily neglectful but walmart is not liable for the child's injury. Mama is.

You make a fine point, however if you read some of her comments you will realise that she is not putting any blame on herself for what happened. She is claiming the carts are "non child friendly", she is blaming the carts, even her four year old daughter for the accident. She refuses to take any responsibility for her actions and further more she creates other accounts to tell us off, and that it is totally not her fault. She refuses to take responsibility for what happened to her daughter. They should have gotton back to her, however she refuses to take any responsibility.
I told you to put a sock in it. First of all I am not denying the mother did any wrong. However like I said she admits that the child should not have been in the cart in the first place, so I do admit my fault where the child should not be in the cart in the first place. Also I do agree that the mother is somewhat to blame, however like I said they should have at least followed up. Why are you all going on a witch hunt and attacking this mother. I am a parent, I hwv two children ages 16 and 19 and that happened to this 4 year old could happen quite easily. This does not make her a bad mother or neglectful. Also the store is responsibie for keeping a list of injuries, besides the cart was defective so that is part to blame. Companys take any meaures and turn it into a situation to back the parent and blame the parent, like you are doing on your witch hunt. Don't blame the mother because I did nothing wrong. Yes the four year old is partly to blame and should have been behaving when I turned my back, but don't blame the mother. Four year olds do things in a split second, this does not mean it is the mother's fault. Stop blaming her people.
Also she is not creating other accounts to back her up, you people just cannot see that there are people who agree with her on letter. That is why you are claiming I am making other accounts to defend myself. None of those accounts are mine.
Brenda, Norman she is getting worse rather than better with hiding her identity. If she were Clark Kent the whole would would know she were Superman in hours. :D
Like I said she is getting worse. Now she goes back and forth in talking in first person form and third person form. In some sentences she said "I am not a bad parent, and in other she says "she is not a bad parent.
Also did one of her other identities accuse us of being "witch hunters."
All of the well written posts have been achnowledged with low class insults...so let me try and speak your language...YOU AND ALL OF YOUR OTHER PERSONALITIES ARE [censored]ES AND IT IS SAD THAT YOU EVEN HAVE A CHILD
Seriously, Maegan... knock it off. You can't be that obtuse. You freely admit you know she shouldn't have been sitting there, you turned your back for a second. Secondly, why is your 4 year old daughter so focused on how ugly her little finger is... perhaps because her mother keeps pounding that thought into her head. There are people with terrible scars from terrible accidents. I am pretty sure your little one can go on to lead a happy and productive life (should you get your act together) with her unsightly finger.
Also, calling single father child abusers is really taking to another level (yes I saw your apology)... but, why go there. It's obvious the majority of the board believes there was no negligence on Walmart's part. Perhaps you just need to move on, accept ALL responsibility for this mishap, pay your own medical bills and love and kiss your little one's boo boo and tell her that you are sorry she hurt herself. 4 year olds are notorious for getting into all kinds of mischief. Jeesh. Why do you need a call back or anything from Walmart. They were helpful when you were there after that it's time for Mommy to do her job. Are you expecting Walmart to adopt your daughter, because that would be the only way I see them being financially responsible for your daughter's injury. I'm gonna be blunt here... GROW UP and be a more responsible mother. Don't use the guise of "I'm being a good mother" because I'm willing to erroneously sue Walmart and pretend it's because I care so much about my poor little daughter. You are being greedy and you are setting a poor example to your daughter about taking responsibility for one's own actions. I don't usually post on sites but you real pushed my button. Oh and before you go off, I am a mother of 2 (at one time a single mother of 1) and I do not abuse nor neglect my children (who are now grown) or sue people when it's my fault. Your annoying... sorry.
Secondly, I am now doubting your whole post given that I have now read them all including all of your effed up fan club personalities. You are quoting yourself and then speaking in the 1st person, second person and third person. Seriously, either you are yanking our chain... you sound like you have multiple personality disorder or something else is going on i.e. a little too much drinky drinky or sniff sniff, all of this of course is just based on the aforementioned posts and cannot be substantiated. You cannot possibly be that out of it? But, then again you very well could be. If you really have a daughter, I am Angelina Jolie... (and I"M NOT). Take care and reach out for help it's out there.
First, watch your child. Second, watch your child. Third, Not all single fathers are wife beaters and child abusers. There ARE women who fail at relationships too. Not all divorces are the mans fault, and if you believe that they are, god have mercy on your husband for marrying you. I do hope your daughter is alright, and I am sorry she was hurt. I disagree with you placing blame squarely on Wal-mart and the cart, when it is also partially your fault. Yes, accidents happen. Yes, carts are unsafe when you have your back turned. That's life. EVERYTHING is dangerous. This is the nature of the world. Are you a bad parent? If this behavior is constant, then maybe. Seeing as I do not know you, I am forced to use the information derived from your comments and conversations in this forum. I think you need a reality check, but that's it for now. Lesson to be learned here? ### HAPPENS. Go with the flow, and learn to ride the tide. - And try to be a little more careful when with your child around carts and other potentially dangerous things. - Hope I helped/fanned the flames. Enjoy, all you trolls. /FLAME ON
"no time to wallow in the mire, try now we can only lose"... ty jim morrison
Are there really people this stupid in the world? 1 more thing a little messed up fingernail is the least of life's major problems.
Is there really people that stupid in the world? 1 more thing a messed up finger nail is the least of your worries in this world.
OK... Open your eyes it is not Walmart that is in the wrong here it is you and only you... There are signs all over the carts that tell you not to let your kid be on the bottom of it so y would you let your daughter on there? If you would of had your daughter in the right spot in the first place then none of that would of happend so how can you blame walmart for that it is plane to see who is at fault. And she is 4 and yeah her fingernail is gone or whatever but she will get over it and it will grow back...
what drugs r u on maegan?/
I've never even been near a Walmart. Your inattention caused your child's injury, not the store.
