[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember arguing with my mom over a toy chest and we wound up not buying because she was adamant on danger. Today there was a story on two four year old twins who got up and took their stuffed animals out of toy box and got in  and died after falling asleep in it and parents had no idea because it was in their room and found out next day. I thought of my mom and how I told her she was nuts that I would
have things in the chest so not a problem with safety. Please people she was right-don’t have a chest with a lid. [/quote]

Come on! The very first place anyone would have looked would have been a chest!  Not buying this story [/quote]

Same.
Here are some red flags that stood out to me, and I’m no investigator—
1–moms fb post is so detailed. Why?? She telling too much. I have no doubt she is grieving the loss but it feels different.
2-mom literally crafted every piece of the narrative about how they must have been playing in the middle of night as they often do, pulled most of the toys out of the chest and climbed in together and told each other goodnight (she included that detail as though she were imagining what they would have said to each other), fell asleep, and somehow the lid closed but they were asleep so there was no screaming or crying out for help 
3–they looked ALL OVER for them, but in mom’s retelling she said they had removed most of the toys from the chest so wouldn’t you immediately notice that hep of toys upon entering their room? Why wouldn’t you look there first?
And finally….
4. Very important detail in the news story is that the police were called to the home around noon. What?!?! How many 4-year-olds do you know of are unaccounted for between 8am and 10am in a given day? And we’re not even talking 10am…we’re taking NOON.
What the what?!? Are you telling me that it’s normal for the four year old twins to “sleep in” and not be seen or heard from in that house until after 11 or 11:30 in the morning before someone says “gee…where are the twins?”
Something isn’t right.

And why didn’t the older kids go to school?[/quote]
