Would you people stop with this bulldroppings, "The mother gave her life for this boy". The mother was a selfish idiot for endangering her life as well as her son's. Although as a human being I feel sorry for her, the same as I do for any other human being who suffers tragedy, her actions should NOT be praised. There was a tragic incident that happened a few years ago which comes to mind because of the similarities of the mothers' stupidity. A mother was driving her 5 year old son to the airport. The child was joining a group of classmates going on an organized school tour of The Rockies. It was late and there was a chance that the mother and son would not make it to the airport in time to catch the plane. As she was driving to the airport there was a railroad crossing further ahead. In the distance she could see a long freight train coming. In her mind there was not a minute to spare so she accelerated figuring she would make it to the crossing before the train. Well, she didn't make it. Only the child survived despite severe injuries. Should this mother be praised? Her decision resulted in a child being left a handicapped orphan, cheated out of his right to a loving mother. (true story)
