With all the monday morning quarterbacking I am sure this poor mom wishes she could have a do-over and take all the after the fact advice offered in what was an accident that probably transpired in less than 5 seconds.
Hopefully others can learn a lesson from this horrible incident.
One of the best bits of advice I ever received was from my father-in-law when I bought my new house.
He told me to always put the emergency brake on my car when parked in my driveway because of all the families with small children on the block.
He told me a story about how when he was younger his neighbor's car had been rolled by a stiff wind and broke a little girl's leg.
I always follow this piece of advice - it makes perfect sense but you wouldn't necessarily think of it.
