My wife watched the bodycam of this and I saw some of it. The mother’s cries are harrowing. If I remember rightly she was in treatment for the trauma from the first child’s death and it was her therapist that suggested to allow the grandma to look after the younger child. I don’t know how I’d be able to live after that. Your own mother killing both kids, your therapist pushing you to allow her access to the second one. Fuck that.
I was in the hospital one night in college and a woman was brought in screaming and sobbing. It was the most gut wrenching sound; I could immediately tell it was emotionally fueled, not from physical pain or something.
A few hours later some nurses were talking at the nurses station about her right outside my room. Apparently, a couple years prior, she had her first ever seizure while driving and crashed, and her twin girls were in the back and did not survive. And on this night, she had received news that her surviving child had accidentally drowned while staying at the child's father's house.
I will never be able to get the sound of that woman's cries out of my head. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
