[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom, if your baby died and your husband was dying, would you leave the dead baby to go for aid? I’m not sure I would be rationale enough to leave them and may take their corpse but that could have been the scene here.[/quote]

This mom was quite petite.  The baby carrier looks big and heavy.  She might not have wanted to leave the baby behind but may not have had a choice. She didn’t have the strength to carry it.  I honestly think she wasn’t thinking coherently by then from grief, panic and heat exhaustion.  The only cell phone mentioned was with the husband and so even if she took off, she didn’t have a cell phone on her. She didn’t think to get his cell phone.  It’s all very sad. [/quote]

The high end hiking carriers are not actually that heavy. Less than 10 pounds. You think the mom couldn’t carry 30 lbs (20 for baby and 10 for pack) if she had to?[/quote]

I think if the dad and mom were both suffering but mom was a bit better off, it would make sense to leave the baby with dad and get help as quickly as possible.  Assuming the baby had shade from the carrier and hydration, mom should do everything she could to make her hike for help easier.  Once mom gets up to the car and is able to call for help, it wouldn't be too much longer before everyone is rescued.
