Yep, I'm taking you off the

'Those who get off on the grief of others by telling everyone what great parents they were and how perfect their parents were and if the whole world just raised their kids the way they raised their kids and they themselves were raised then no children would ever ever ever die in freak accidents.'

Ping list.

That's a shame. I'm friends with people that I disagree with. It makes life interesting.

As for the Mother having her eyes off the child, how long are we talking?

Long enough for a tragedy.

The mirrors in my Walmart are close to the bedding section. So, she looks up, grabs a stack of towels to put in the cart and BAM! Little Joey is dead.

Why wasn't the child in a cart that the store provides for the purpose of keeping track of children.

Look, let's assume everything you're saying is true. It just seems callous and downright rude to point it out so close to when the tragedy occurred. Where I'm from, this sort of talk just isn't done, at least not till years after the fact. You wouldn't go to a friend's teenage son's funeral and say, "Too bad he wasn't wearing a sealtbelt. I always made my kids wear seatbelts", would you? The truthfulness of what you say is irrelevant - it just seems untoward. You aren't from the South, are you? There's just some things you don't say.
