I'm always accused of worrying too much, but I really don't see what's wrong with assessing a situation, thinking of worst-case scenarios, and taking appropriate precautions. When kids are involved, I think one has to accept that if it COULD happen, it probably WILL happen.

That said, this is incredibly sad.
