The facts that we do have state that the child was dead before the father attempted to go in to save the child.
Who went in to check to determine the child was dead before the father was tased and why didn't they remove the child at the time? Or, is this hind-sight reporting?

The point being, it is tragic and no-one knew for sure if the child could be saved in the heat of the moment. The father was willing to risk it. It was his decision.

The cowards stopped him because *they* couldn't muster the nerve to go in and check, so they were damned determined to keep anyone else from trying.

The point still stands. Care to take another feeble swipe at it or are you ready to *quit*?

“no-one knew for sure if the child could be saved in the heat of the moment”

Couple things here - there was a delay between the firefighters showing up, the parents showing up and the start of the fire.

So the parents weren’t home. The firefighters went in saw the room that the child was in and discovered that the child was dead before they even managed to get there.

Yes, it’s tragic - but they did their job and there was nothing more they could do.

Yes, they did know that the child was dead before the father tried to rush in. That is why they restrained him, and eventually tazed him when he would not listen to reason.
