But you don't know that Johnny was out there all by himself since you weren't there. I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree. All I'm saying is that even if you are sitting right next to your kid on the balcony and for god knows whatever reason, he decides to hop on the table and jump off (all in the span of a few seconds), it isn't "your fault". Not every accident requires blame to be placed. A kid can yank his hand from his moms and dart into an oncoming car. Who's fault is it? It isn't anyone's fault, it is just a tragic accident that nobody wants to have happen. Again, not saying that the parents did everything they could in this situation, but since neither of us were there, we shouldn't say that they were negligent.
