She is not a monster for enrolling a 5 month old in day care. Some people do not have the affluence to take months off of work to care for a small one. Accidents and tragedies happen. Please have a little sympathy for this mother.

You are right, accidents do happen and there isn't always a monster involved in a child's death. I imagine no one is hurting now more than that mother. As I drove my 6 yr. old twin grandchildren to summer camp this morning I forgot to turn on the street where I should have turned. About 5 minutes later I realized my mistake. I just took a longer route and no harm was done. I wasn't particularly stressed or in a hurry. Sometimes my mind just wanders, even when I am driving. An overly tired, stressed out new mother who probably didn't get a good nights sleep could make a tragic mistake and still be a decent person. Lots of FReepers are too quick to judge someone harshly.

I totally agree. It sounds like a horrible, horrible tragedy.

And while I have suffered a tremendous crisis of faith lately, I will still send out prayers for the child and the mom.
