I don't think saying one provider was working alone is a valid excuse to differentiate between the two situations.
In my eyes, a child was lost. Period.
Comparing the two as in who did what right or wrong is pointless as the OP in this thread never came back to tell us what she did or didn't do.
I also don't think that coming here and "blaming" yourself for what happened is an automatic excusal for what did happen. Yet, she got a ton of support.
OP didn't get any of that and that makes me sad because we (readers/posters) don't know the whole story. Had she had access to a private area, she may have told a different story. Who knows...
Too many missing details and too many double standards in my opinion.
