After 35 years in imaging in a Level 1 Pediatric hospital, and moonlighting work for the county coroner, you have not a clue. We just direct those grieving parents to 'that room down the hall.'

Imaging is actually pretty neat, and sometimes I wish i had gone into that instead of IT.

That being said, what exactly are you trying to say here? I'm not trying to be smart, I've just lost track of who's arguing what.

I have no idea if it was wallyworld's fault or not. The article stated 5 feet away. That's too far for a 3 year old. In any public place one encounters the trash of society, and the adult in charge should have been more attentive. As far as my work, it should not surprise you what kids get into. General Diagnostic, CT, and MRI. You will find the vast majority of parents/guardians always blaming the store/business/playground/street for the ineptitude of the adult in charge. And they do go bonkers...ie.. smashing their head on floors/walls, jumping out of windows....Usually 2 security guards are present when working on traumatized kids. Not to say the home is safe by any means. That's where my coroner work comes into play. Corpses are X-Rayed for old fractures and new ones. And contrary to me being accused of being 'jaded', I'm not. Remember when a Dad and his 10 year old (or so) were running a chipper? Dad just pivoted to get some more branches--and the kid was gone. The county brought the whole truck to the coroners office in on a flatbed trailer. The family received received a small baggie of tissue. Your not allowed to have a pet 5 feet away from you (unrestrained). The mom could have at minimum held on to the kids hand.
