I know this is old but I just came across this thread.
So so heartbreaking
It looks like she was brought back to the U.S.

Wonder if they ever got to the bottom of what really happened that day
I have to say something on the age thing...

Nope, I can't agree with this one bit. How can you be 'certain' of that
There are
so many young men and women who signed up to give their lives for their country, the children in this country being included. I know that's different, and you may disagree with 18 yr olds signing up in the military, but my point is that there are
many 22 yr olds and younger who DO put others' lives before their own. Daycare settings included. I'm willing to bet there are providers of all ages who wouldn't put the childrens' lives first in an emergency situation.
Military aside, there are young persons in other difficult careers that are competent of making sound life or death decisions.
No disrespect Nan, I know you have a plethora of great knowledge in many daycare aspects.
