Re: Toddler's Brave Survival
No one "expects" a mum of this young age to die. Almost by definition Mothers of toddlers are supposed to be invincible (unless they are addicts, in which case someone somewhere should be keeping an eye on things).
A very resourceful child, who I hope the media leave in peace to adjust to his new life without his mum.

I disagree with that statement, my brother in-laws mother died when my neice was 1 and she knows who she was and recognises her photo, and knows she in heaven (she is one of the stars looking down on her and her brother.

Re: Toddler's Brave Survival
Here's an update to the story, looks like the poor little boy was left longer than was first thought 
Quote:
A toddler trapped in an Edinburgh flat with the body of his mother could have survived alone for six weeks.
Three-year-old Michael McGarrity was found emaciated, dehydrated and barely able to stand last Saturday evening.
It was initially believed he had survived for two weeks, but detectives have now said his mother Anne Marie, 33, was last seen alive on 1 September.

Re: Toddler's Brave Survival
If that is true a lot of people should go to prision 
This has really ****ed me of.
This proves that the system is so full of holes, how many more dead and kids suffering out there.

*WHO* should go to prison? The relatives? The neighbours? Social Services? The bloke in the shop down the street who hadn't seen her for some time???
Exactly *what* good would locking *anyone* up in this case do?
