A 3-year-old boy in Queensland, Australia, actually crawled into a Hello Kitty claw machine at a mall recently. Ethan's dad, Timothy Hopper, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that it happened unbelievably fast. Queensland Police rescued Ethan by coaxing him into a corner to cover his eyes so they could shatter the glass and gave him a toy koala. It's MORNING EDITION.
