What I still don't get is how the kid was harmed.

I haven't seen a baggage conveyor that could harm the kid as was described.

She put the kid on the belt thinking it was a solid object, the system sensed baggage and started up. Why didn't the kid just go round and round on the belt? The belts are continuous, where is there a surface that could harm a kid? (I can easily see a kid being harmed if the system spit another bag out that hit the kid but that's not what is reported to have happened.)
