Discussion»Questions»Babies and Kids» In Florida 9-year-old Dericka Lindsay is dead because her 325 lb 64-year-old cousin sat on her for punishment. Comments?
That is what was reported JakobA. For me the point was the tragedy not the questionability of the relationship. I don't question things like that. I don't even think about it. I do not understand why that is what you chose as your only comment. A child was crushed to death. Oh well. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday.
A child was crushed to death. It's hard for me to focus on anything but the utter terror she must have felt as she stopped breathing and gasped for air. I don't know if you have experienced being unable to breathe but it is scary as he **. I slipped once in the bath tub as a child and hit my side on the edge of the tub. I gasped for air and couldn't breathe and thought I was going to die. I didn't. She did. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday.
It's an injustice that the cousin was aloud to take care of her neice, the family had a history with the child welfare system.

I did not know that ally. That poor child must have been terrified as the ability to breathe was crushed out of her. It is a tragic thing and I wonder how many other children are living similar lives with crazy people? Thank you for your answer and Happy Wednesday! :)
Have you ever had the breath knocked out of you Patch? I have. When I was a kid I slipped in the bath tub and hit the side of the tub with the side of me. I couldn't breathe. I was gasping for air and it seemed to last forever. I thought I was going to die. It is terrifying. I agree. Poor little kid. She deserved better. All children deserve better. Some of 'em are very unlucky. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)
