Cot Death

[Motherluv]

Have you read the article on 1 in 10 cot deaths may be due to murder or neglectin the parenting section on the site. As a mother of two young children it is horrifying that there is still not enough known about cot death. What is even scarier is that mother have been wrongly imprisoned as a result of weak evidence and ill informed opinions. How must it feel to first lose your baby which I can only imagine how devastating that must be but then to be accused blamed and jailed for causeing the death when you are innocent the grieving and the pain must be unbearable.
It is about time the reasons are found out and these unneccassary wasteful deaths are stopped.

I couldnt imagine what it would be like to loose a child and I would like to even begin to try and think, I dont know how I would cope if I would have lost a child and then be accused of killing them. But on the other hand I am not a women who could harm a child either I smack my kids if they are naughty and I dont think it harms them as I got smacked as a child when I was naughty and it didnt do me any harm. But I couldnt do anything more that give them a smack on the bum, and yet it bothers me when I am out and about and I see mums or dads yelling or smacking there child I know someone must think the same about me when I do it.

If someone has really harmed a child even killed a child they need to be brought to justice, but how do you prove some one is innocent and someone is guilty

Thats the difficult but trying to prove someone is guilty. Whereas if they are innocent, the questioning would send most parents over the top. Difficult line to draw.
