maybe. probably. I have a lot of empathy for harried parents, having been one for the most part of my adult life. I totally get it. The teeth-grinding hair-pulling tragedy of these particular kinds of incidents is that they are COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE. This isn't an accident. It's not intentional, no, but it is not an accident.

There's more spleen, but there's no more point. I'll drop it.
