Re: Death of a 3 yr old

[Guest guest]

I'm late to this thread, but Hannah has just qualified for wrap around

services with the main focus teaching her to walk down the street to Gramma's

without trying EVERY FLIPPIN CAR DOOR on the way. More than once she's tried

the

same trick as that poor baby.

I can't even begin to imagine what torment that family is dealing with.

Makes me so sad to think about it. My prayers are with them, too.

be kids, no matter how much supervision they have, accidents do happen.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here......

Like Colleen, my initial thought was " he was found at 1 o'clock - why in the

world did the parents sleep in so late? " .

Wow I just read all of the posts and was going to say the same thing

as you ........... GMTA so I'll just add that this story has been broadcasted

many times on our TN news channels ...... NEVER mentioning that this child

had DS

The other night an AMBER alert came across our TV, it was 2 boys with DS and

Epilepsy missing from sville, TN. They were staying I think at a Red

Roof Inn. I thought about the hotel times we've had and how I did lose Sara a

few times. I haven't heard anymore about this story so I'm praying the boys

were found .... as we did Sara lol

Kathy mom to Sara 14

Like Colleen, my initial thought was " he was found at 1 o'clock - why in the

world did the parents sleep in so late? " . Then when I reread the story, it

said a neighbor or friend found him at 1. It's possible they were searching

for hours before someone looked in the car. Ok..now what if he wasn't found

lost until 1:00 and the parents did in fact sleep in. Being a woman, I can

honestly say there is one day a month that I could sleep all day if allowed.

If the child slipped out early, the parents could have been catching up on

needed rest without waking up. We don't have full details - I'm sure there

is still an active investigation and with that said, we won't know all the

details.

As far as leaving, was 2.5 when he first left home, well actually a

hotel room where he ventured to the bar to dance with the band. On Easter

Sunday, about 30 minutes after his grandmother said " He'll never be able to

drive a car " in front of him, he proved her wrong by sneaking out and

backing one car out into the other. Tim and I use to have arguments about

leaving the keys in the car - no more, I won!

The bottom line is that tonight, there is a family tormented by guilt, loss,

shame and tons of other emotions who did not purposefully or intentionally

do anything to cause the death of their child. I would hope that others

support them at this tragic time and keep the family in our prayers.
