Today, I read a story about a mother in GA whose 13-month old baby was shot in the head by someone. She claims it was a 13-15 year old boy and his 10-ish year old accomplice. They shot the baby in the head and wounded her when demanding money that she didn't have to give them.
Now, I hate to doubt people... but my husband is a police officer. I know that there is always another side to the story... and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. I know, as a mother, I would bring extreme harm to someone who threatened harm to my son.
My own son is 19-months-old. I'd do anything for him. He is the very reason I live my life - he is the reason I get up in the morning... the reason I go to work to make sure he's taken care of and gets anything he needs/wants (within reason).
Let me tell you... from my perspective... a super human strength kicks in when I'm afraid for his safety. I will do anything in my power to make sure he's safe. I don't care what that is. I may not be a tall person... I may even not look strong... but I will NOT let someone push me out of the way to harm my son. It just isn't happening. I'll bite, claw, hit, scream, kick... do whatever it takes. Gun? That's alright. I will find a way. Believe me, I'll go down trying.
I just don't get how someone could push her out of the way of her child and shoot her child but leave her to describe them.
