Is this poor woman one of us?

to the media. Ain't nothing but trouble.
Rope + journalist. Some assembly required.


Poor woman. My heart goes out to her.

She lives in Fl. Doesnt really get all that cold. I could see a pool not being winterized yet..



Was she not in the chicken coop tweeting how the fog was rolling in one min before she found out?
Just because she tweeted while she wasnt allowed back where they work on the patients doesnt mean that her son would have lived.

Some people choose to stare at a wall, some the floor, some choose to call family, some choose to read the bible, and some choose to reach out via internet and ask questions.
What was she suppose to do? Shove all the Drs aside and work on him herself?!



People! >

I feel SO bad for this woman..

I hate pools and ponds around kids, by baby pools even get emptied when I'm not outside. people can twitter on thier phone's now so say your child is eating a snack, you can twitter and watch at the same time in the room, no differance then texting and people do that while driving!

Just because she wasn't with him when it happened doesn't mean the boy was neglected. She has 2 older teenagers and probably a husband. Any one of them could have been the one that was supposed to be watching him. Maybe he was down for a nap, crawled out of his crib and went outside with nobody knowing about it. People need to leave her alone if they don't know the facts. My cousin had his kids taken by CPS once years ago. He was asleep and his two daughters (ages 2 and 4) got out of bed, managed to unlock the door and went outside into the street at about 5 or 6 AM. Strangers found them playing in the road. It was very early in the morning, and the parents weren't awake yet. My cousin and his wife weren't bad parents, but it could have been a tragedy. Sometimes bad things happen.

I COMPLETELY agree. The media always goes for the most negative spin possible, so they can sell more. Nobody is the perfect parent and accidents happen even when adults are WATCHING their kids.

My dd who's 4 got hurt in her bedroom( was playing with a 7 and 8 year old) so CPS blaimed us for her accident because we weren't in her bedroom watching her ,even though the hospital and her professionals didn't even have a reason to suspect abuse as kids do get hurt all the time, the kids room's are child safe and are with hearing distance. An accident is just that an accident.

SO SAD! I have 3 myself, and somehow they always manage to get hurt when I AM watching them, and somehow stay out of trouble when I'm in the shower, on the toilet, on the 'puter, or on the phone.... No way anyone should be making it worse for her.

I didn't read the story as being about how she could have prevented it, or that she was "Twittering" as her child drowned. I read it as how some people found it bizarre that in the very midst of the loss of her child and her grief that she was "Twittering" about it.

As the person who started this thread said, one of my first thoughts was "Is she BYC?"
I kinda feel badly for thinking that right off of the bat.

Wow. That really makes you think how blessed you are in this world. How sad. My heart goes out to their family.
