[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get this "what mother would leave her baby" thing UNLESS the dad was the threat. I am a mom and if I were in trouble I'd absolutely trust my husband with the kids if for some reason we thought I had to be the one to get help. [/quote]

If your husband and dog were keeling over from heat stroke, your instinct would be to try to get your baby out of there as quickly as possible, not leave her in the blazing sun for hours longer waiting for rescue.[/quote]

This assumes one very specific scenario, people are stating it like a general rule. [/quote]

I'm someone who said it. And it isn't that I wouldn't trust my husband, it would be whatever was causing me to leave my husband behind. If he was in bad enough shape to be left behind he wasn't well enough to care for the infant. If the infant was sick, she wouldn't have risked the extra hours of exposure. There is no logical explanation for her going alone because the only reason TO go alone is someone being in distress (either dad or baby)[/quote]

In that scenario I think knowing your own limits would be a factor. You'd have to try to be realistic about whether bringing the baby would prevent you from getting help for ANY of you. That would  be an awful decision, but this poor woman didn't make it back to her car, so she was obviously struggling as well. [/quote]
