[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Assuming you weren't suffering from delirium. [/quote]

And assuming the baby didn’t perish before either parent.  [/quote]

Yes, all of these things. I was responding to the person who said they dont understand why everyone is saying the mom would definitely take the baby. I couldn't leave my baby out in the hot sun to die, even if I knew it was folly to try to get her out. Just like a burning building; I think I would still try to go back in there for my kids even if it was futile.

Maybe if my H and the baby were in the shade and I thought she might be ok for a little while longer? it's all awful to consider.[/quote]

Yeah, I think "leaving my baby in the hot sun to die" is making assumptions about the mom's thought processes and mental capacity that we do not have the knowledge to make.[/quote]

It's all speculation and assumptions. I find it hard to believe that both parents got so overcome by heat at the exact same time that neither could come up with a workable rescue plan, but here we are.[/quote]
