There are lots of reasons why I feel this way--and I don't have to defend myself to some faceless stranger who won't even use a username to ID herself.
I totally understand where you are coming from.
I don't know what I would do in that situation for sure and hopefully will never have to find out but I have often felt the same way in other similar (but not nearly as tragic) situations.
For example, my DS and his friend were playing outside at my daycare one time. My DS, now 22 yrs old was about 7 at the time. Anyways, he and his friend were splitting rocks. (My DH builds split rock fireplaces and such...) and my DS ended up getting his finger smashed between two rocks.
It ended up being a really bad accident...he had a long surgery to repair, months of PT and Dr's visits.
I remember looking back that the biggest thing I felt was relief that it was MY child that got hurt and not one of the daycare kids.
I know you know what I mean..... so I don't need to explain why.
