I am not blaming the family in my recent posts. Or anyone. I am only questioning the whether or not the long walk we were told this scared 3 year old took in extreme temperature in a rural area, likely pitch black, virtually in the nude, not turning and going back in the open door he came from, ending with him having enough manual dexterity, know how, strength and ability to open a van door, climb in, close the door, function despite certain hypothermia and probable frostbite is feasible or not. If what little Titus pulled off was a superhuman feat or if the majority of 3 year olds would be able to complete such a task.
If this is a tragic accident, there is still plenty of blame to go around IMO. Poor communication between Mom and the GP, some poor decisions on the part of the people responsible for making sure he is safe. No one is perfect, but the safeguards that should have been in place, should be in place with all kids, just as a matter of course, ultimately led to the death of this child. I'm sure they feel crushed, guilty, devastated, however, my heart still hurts more for Titus. This is happening to too many children and too often. Do I feel bad for them? Absolutely. I couldn't imagine the horror. But I feel worse for Titus, his life hardly begun, over and wasted because those adults failed him. Having to live with this still, for me, trumps Titus being dead. He shouldn't be "at peace" or "in a better place". That's no consolation to me. He should be running and playing and growing up to be a good big brother to his sister.
