Actually on the very first page freepers started asking why the child wasn't in a cart. I'm not the only one.
And so you find that justification for your vilification of this woman who just lost her child? Or anyone, other than your own mother, that does not have have her/his child wrapped around arm or leg?
NO criticism of your mother on my part, just on you....you are the one who has been bragging about how your mother could leave you and your siblings OUT OF HER SIGHT and yet are condemning this poor woman for being 5 feet away from her child.
Taking care of a child is the responsibility of the parent.......no question of that...yet you are bragging about how "obedience and manners" was all that was needed for you and your siblings to be safe while out of your mother's sight.
Sorry - you are the one that is in the wrong in this discussion when you use that as your backup.
