Expectations of a 13 year old…

Posted August 7, 2007 at 11:59 am by Jessica

I just read about a 2-year old baby in Texas, who drowned in her community pool while the mother went inside to get a diaper. Supposedly, the mother left the 2-year old with a 13-year-old sibling and when she came back, the baby was lying on the bottom of the pool.

I can’t imagine the guilt that poor 13-year-old and the mother is going through.

Can a mom really rely on a child of that age in such a dangerous situation? Do you think the parents blame the sibling?

I certainly hope that this young teen gets counseling.

"Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways." -- Samuel McChord Crothers
