In any event, my condolences. We can't watch over them all the time. A friend of mine just bought a sully baby, put it outside for a bit...and when he turned his back for a minute...a crow snatched it up...less than 24 hours after he acquired it!
Probably not as bad as turning your back for a minute while your 6-year-old son gets yanked through a wood chipper...GOD! I still can't get that story outta my head!

OMG I'm tearing! That's aweful...I had a vision of it just reading it and that's such an awful way to go! Kids are very hard and such a handful that anything can go wrong with a blink of an eye...there's never a break with kids around...gbless that family and RIP to the kid...I know how it feels to lose a child and it's the worst thing anyone would ever go through, my heart goes out to them. I've been thinking about that all day, I just keep visioning the whole incident and can't get it outta my head.

IF i see him again i will show him this thread put some education in him .... So sorry for your lost
