Subject: RE: BS: Child neglect and the law
Ylenia's mother in an interview today (my translation):
Q: Are you blaming yourself?
A: Blaming myself? There is no need for that. She (Ylenia) isn't to blame and neither am I. She was just at the wrong time at the wrong place. But still one asks oneself questions: If it had rained that day she wouldn't have fetched the shampoo (she had forgotten the shampoo at the pool the day before. W.). For it was her idea not mine. She said spontaneously: "Shall I fetch it?" And I said: "Yes, fine". Five minutes later she went. Yes, if it had rained or if the shampoo would have been empty, then she'd be still alive.

(The pool was 1 km away from her home)
