"Any detective or police officer will tell you that there is no "normal" way for parents to react to the death of their child. Some wail hysterically, some become catatonic, others carry on in complete denial. Suspicion can rarely be established by guaging a parent's reaction to such a horrible event."

Realize there is no normal response. . .and allowed for shock as well. . .

But apparently this Mother had enough clarity to have a lawyer with her at the police station - even if someone elses decision - she still had presence of mind to not make a statement without one. . All of which. . .means nothing, really; certainly NOT that it could not be an accident. . .

. . .but 'all the above' and more of the circumstances . . .could at least raise an eyebrow. It has mine, anyway. . .

And, for sure; speculating does not change the tragedy here; just challenges one's imagination as to what might have happened.

That was her best moment of clarity all day. I witnessed a fatal accident once where I immediately warned the driver to lawyer up and don't make any statements... It's a fact of life nowadays that people want to find fault and punish for any accident.
