pegkerrThis story--and especially the picture of the father--absolutely broke my heart.
I can't give the family anything but heartfelt sympathy. Every parent knows how thin the line is that we walk between life as usual and making a mistake that has consequences you will never recover from.
I hope that their family stays intact after this tragedy, and may God be with them as they mourn their loss.

Now I don't mean to imply that putting the back is a mistake--the risk of accidents is far greater than the risk of forgetting--but it is interesting how protecting against one threat exacerbates another.
