| Posted almost 3 years ago If the mother's account is accurate, it's an appalling story & the officer is partially to blame. She also should have called 911. That was the catalyst that led to the child's death. |

| Posted over 2 years ago This is a tragic story and the officer should face some sort of disciplanary action. He was not wrong in stopping the woman going the wrong way on a one way street, after all he did not know why she was doing that until he stopped her. He was wrong in not calling 911 and not performing CPR. Also if the boy had a history of asthma the mother should have had medication available and she should have called 911. If she had, the child would have had medical help on the way to the hospital and would have had a better chance. John L. Racher RN, BSN, MSRN-BC
