On a cliff!!!
Who takes a two year old on a hike without putting them in a backpack carrier or something? A lot of two year olds can't walk that well on flat paved ground so hiking is right out. The kid probably didn't want to hold anyone's hand either and was free range. But we'll see what the investigation says.
