1. My dear greenbriar...

How dreadful...

Safe passage to him...

My deepest condolences to all of you...

:hug:

2. I feel horrible about what the mom must be going through.

:cry:

Can you imagine having to choose whether or not it is safe to take your child to the hospital? Can you imagine seeing your son die, and not knowing if a different choice could have saved him? :(

I hope she has a lot of friends and family to console her and support her. I'd be broken into pieces for a long, long time if that was me.

May she find peace.

5. How tragic...

Nobody should be afraid to take their child to the hospital. :(

I wish we had organizations devoted to helping immigrants adjust to society...people who could help in situations like this one.

6. yea and our school population is SO very poor

I feel for the mom cause her husband died like 5 years ago and she has a 4th grade student who is so very lost as well...


my heart is just broken

7. I am so sorry ...

My mom survived a brain aneurysm in November of 2006. This little boy could have been helped if the paramedics were called. Medical science is here for a reason. I understand her reasons but I would never put my fear before the health of my children or anyone else.

8. she feels

really guilty

[PeaceNikki]

9. Afraid of being reported for what?

[MountainLaurel]

14. Undocumented immigrant, I'd guess

What a sad story.

[Parche]

10. Sad

I hope it was not because she didnt have health insurance

How sad that is......:cry:


:hi:

11. I cannot imagine what his poor mother feels

That is just horrible - what a dreadful choice to lay on a person. :cry:

I'm so sorry, greenbriar - that is a horrible, horrible tragedy.

[Cabcere]

12. Oh no...that is so sad.

:cry: Peace be with the young kid and his family - what an awful thing to happen. :hug:
