It's not like she left the kid out there for hours.  She ran the
toddlers inside and went back for the baby, but it was too late.
I don't know about you, but I only have two hands.  How
do you choose which two to take inside first?  It's not a choice
I ever want to have to make.  I hope you don't  have to either.

I feel for the family, and also the (now deceased) bear.
