A mother's reaction is going to be to save her child when it is in imminent danger if she sees any way at all to do so.

Not true. If a kidnapper calls up the mother and says "Go stick needles in the eye of this unknown to you person over in front of 7-11 or I'm killing your kid", your average mother doesn't go stick needles in the eye of a stranger. In the eye of the kidnapper, probably yes. In the eye of an unrelated party, no decent mother would do that. The unrelated parties' life is just as valuable as the mother's kids life, and I think most mothers realize that. That's why I was sort of surprised at your comment that you'd stick needles in someone's eyes to save your child.

And I'm not really interested in whatever crazy topic you and Laz and Iktomi and Michael90210 are going on about. I'm just making a comment on that one post from you, perhaps taken wildly out of context, I don't know.
