Except of course for the fact she will go through life without a mother.

2. That could be looked at as a slap in the face of every adoptive parent ever...

Just saying...

Mother shouldn't have acted oddly and taken off in car while police were surrounding her.

3. I Agree

Woman was completely to blame for her own death. She likely would be alive if she had surrendered instead of leading police on chase.

It's still sad that this child is now collateral damage. It's unfortunate there wasn't another way to prevent this, but since 9/11, police sometimes shoot first and ask questions later.

6. Especially given the political climate.

I can only hope we're on the way to seriously treating mental health issues.

7. Oh, please. Speaking as an adoptive grandparent

any child who has lost a mother has suffered a tragic loss that will leave some amount of scarring, no matter how good the adoptive mother is.

At the core of her being, that child knows from infancy that she could lose everything, in an instant. Most of us only learn this when we are older and better able to deal with it.

4. I'm very glad the child is young enough to not remember what happened

8. She won't remember, but she will have suffered a loss

that will leave a great scar.
