Here we go again. Yesterday a 7-month old and an 11-month old were found
dead - reportedly in bed with their moms. The moms just woke up and found
the children not breathing and not responsive. The police concluded that the
moms rolled over on the children and smothered them, and that alcohol or
drugs were not involved. There was no mention of how these children were
being fed, but I can one guess and probably be right.

Now, I ask you, how many 7-month olds would quietly lie still and be
smothered?
Or 11-month olds?
If I got too close to my 11-month olds, they would have walked away!
Methinks there's something fishy going on and the police have the wrong
diagnosis.

No need to respond - just ranting tonight.
