and it's unclear how much of this was gross negligence, and how much of it was due to a brief, tragic moment of inattention that is committed by people of ANY age

Eh, scratch that....the boys wandered off. Ther main question is: should the mother have known that they would?

Liberals everywhere are saddened. A baby lives.

"But the baby is still likelier to be better off staying with a mother who is working to support her than going into the hands of the state social workers."

...agreed. I've known a few school teachers in their 30s who left their small children home alone for an hour or more at a time. Replies to my concern from their feminist friends/coworkers were generally that "the children need to learn responsibility." Women are equipped to have children during their teen years, but most older ones today are not as responsible as 13-year-olds of more than a 100 years ago. Too many parents want their girls to put off having kids (IOWs, to be kids), until they have PhD.s and are in their 30s.

Our society is sick, indeed.

What with Foley, the shootings in Amishland, etc. it's been hard to maintain senses of humor today. Your post really made me LOL.

OMG! Reading about that shook me up! Can't imagine what she was feeling when that baby started falling! What a miracle that she was there and able!

I agree with you completely.

Wonderful story. I wish the working mom good wishes, prayers, and a new appreciation for the life of her baby. I suspect she may never get over her contempt for her brothers, and I also hope that can be reconciled some day.

Why not? They all run like girls anyway.

Outstanding! She was at the right place, at the right time, and did what had to be done.

I was baby sitting around 10 or 11 and was very responsible. So were my friends. What's different with kids now days?
