I think I have to say that sometimes accidents happen.
The thing about being in a house removed is that I don’t know the real stories of what happens out there. I read (or listen to) the same things you do – like we are listening to the above.
I do not know if we have a right to blame, or beat down on, this mother in her time of grief when it may not have been her fault.
Or she may have been on the phone with friends, she may have been drinking, she may have been . . . who knows – OR it may have been AN ACCIDENT! And this may affect her the rest of her life!
BUT . . . BUT . . . and another BUT . . . I do have a right to ask where the father was!!!
So now you are saying, “You want to blame the child’s father and I’m sure you want to blame his parents too!”
Yes, unfortunately that is how it works. Wasn’t the father taught the right values to be there with the mother of his children to take care of them? There could be a dozen reasons why he wasn’t there but there is only one that counts! It is the one why he wasn’t there to realize the value of life. His parents should have taught him that!
But this is a sad tragedy so I’m done at this time.
