:truce: I am not defending Darlie, heck, I don't even know her but some people don't respond to a situation like we think they should respond. My mother is a perfect example. She is a good person and would do anything for anyone and I love her to death but she has no maternal enstinct (sp) what so ever. I could see her being more concerned about doing the right thing (such as not touching the murder weapon) then treating or holding her dying child. Maybe Darlie is the type of person that distances herself emotionally. She could still be a great parent like people have said. I think Jane made reference to that, I wouldn't know personally.
