She knew better. She just wanted to sound like a hip, modern mom. And her son paid the price w/his life.

In a similar vein, during the holidays I was looking for a parking space at my grocery store and saw a woman standing before the crosswalk w/packages in her arms and a baby in a stroller. She gave the stroller a hard shove w/her foot to push it across the crosswalk to the other side! It was more important to her to carry those packages than it was to keep her baby safe. Had I been close enough, I would've reamed that woman but by the time I parked, she was in her car and gone.
