I'm pretty sure all mothers with an ounce of sanity and love for their children DO think that way. This was a tragic ACCIDENT. The police have already stated that neglect nor child endangerment were the case here.
So, I guess it's safe to say that all of you making these harsh judgements are mothers or parents whose children have never been harmed in ANY way, shape, or form while in your care? No bumps on the head? No getting hit by another sibling? No falling down while learning to walk? Because if your children have suffered ANY type of harm while in your care then as AvyQuinn says, "You sure as heck weren't thinking like you SHOULD have been. What COULD have happened and how could you protect your babies from all the potential things that COULD have happened before the unthinkable DID happen", right?
