1. Higher education is run by people of low character; and
2. Civil liability needs to be extended to corporate officers if you want to put an end to this. Start with the functionary who sent them a bill for $3,600 for ‘security services’ for an event that was online.
Very down today. My neighbor of 44 years was babysitting their 5 month old Grandson. He died, seems to be Crib Death. They are very distraught. This is a fairly close community and it effects us all. The Sheriffs dept. was here most of the day, doing a full forensics of the house. They were very respectful in their duties.
SHIREHOME–
Please convey my condolences to your neighbors– the loss of a child to crib death (aka sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS) is a terrible thing. I can understand why the local sheriff’s department was called in, because SIDS is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion– meaning that all other causes of death must be ruled out first. I’m sure the investigators were respectful, as at least some of them have children of their own, and they can all too easily imagine themselves in the shoes of the bereaved parents and grandparents. Also, no one knows why, but boys are more susceptible to SIDS than girls, and about 90% of cases happen in babies less than 6 months old– which sadly means that the death of your neighbors’ grandson falls within the usual pattern of such tragedies. I will keep your neighbors– and you– in my prayers today, in hopes that you can be of some comfort to them.
Barry brings the intensity.

what a crappy situation.

Very down today.
Thinking of you all.
Some shirttails of ours lost a baby to crib death nine years ago. Both parents carefully questioned and the oldest daughter (just shy of nine) was as well. I think the examiners were from the local police and child-protective. No remarks by anyone on the conduct of the authorities; in the course of it, a paramedic pushed the father out of the ambulance and he broke his ankle when he hit the asphalt. The grandparents seemed to recover ‘ere long. The mother didn’t get out of bed for weeks and ended up quitting her job. We didn’t see the family again for a couple of years. Even then, the older children in the family seemed off.
SHIREHOME, deepest condolences to your neighbors. I breathed a quiet sigh of relief when my (probably only) grandchild passed her first birthday.
SHIREHOME . . . awful, just awful. I’m very sorry. I just cannot imagine . . .
SHIREHOME :
So sad story.. RIP to baby Angel.

This is great live version of “To Love Somebody”. Helen Reddy is so powerful! And , of course, our dear brothers.
“I Don`t Know How To Love Him” by Helen Reddy is very good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOCwE5D9Ghk
SHIREHOME:
So sorry. That’s a nightmare situation.

Those who only know Barry’s falsetto are really missing something – his powerful chest voice, on display here.
SHIREHOME, my deepest sympathies to your neighbors.
The grief of a bereaved parent is deep and slow to heal. There are no words that can help, except, “I’m so sorry.” Being there for them is all you can do. That, and knowing that it will take time for them to process their grief. One step at a time, one day at a time, one year at a time is the way through. It is the Via Dolorosa for parents. May God bless them on their journey.
Thank you all for you kind and thoughtful comments. We as a community will support them.
@ Shirehome > deepest condolences for your friends.
@ JimNorCal – another Twit, CNN Producer Ellie Smith, tried the same victim ploy and got slapped down by Kristi Noem.
Losing a child has to be the hardest thing in life to have to endure. The pain and heartbreak is unimaginable.
Prayers for all.
Shirehome. It’s a terrible thing. I notified next of kin back fifty plus years. One mom killed herself five years after I knocked on their door. Another tried but was convinced not to and lived, not herself, until age got her at eighty.
So keeping an eye on the situation might be a good thing to do, knowing there’s not much you can do.
A terrible thing.
@ Aubrey > “So keeping an eye on the situation might be a good thing to do, knowing there’s not much you can do.”
Excellent advice, and some we are dealing with ourselves right now, as one of our teen grandchildren passed away suddenly early this month.
Shirehome, we are grieving with you and your family, and far too many other friends who have lost their younger loved ones far too soon.
Zara A,
Thank you for the link to Helen R’s beautiful rendition of “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, from Jesus Christ Super Star. A favourite version of a song I love very much. The only better version I know of is by Marcia Hines. She played Mary Magdalen in the Australian stage production that I saw as a young boy in the 70’s.
It was the era of folk masses and so the altar boys were treated to an end of year excursion to the show. Hard to believe, but it was a very controversial piece at the time and about half of us were forbidden by our parents to attend.
This is a very poor taping but it does give a glimpse of her power and feeling for the role. Very few ladies can command a stage this thoroughly without props or accompaniments. Helen Reddy could do it, ditto Liza with a Z and, of course, the divine Miss M.
