Obese relative may have crushed toddler
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080322/...oddler_crushed
LA JOYA, Texas - A 2-year-old boy who died with a fractured skull may have been accidentally crushed by a morbidly obese relative, authorities say. ADVERTISEMENT Investigators believe the woman fell on the child, who was pronounced dead Tuesday, said Bobby Contreras, Hidalgo County justice of the peace. "It didn't look like there was any foul play from what I saw," he said. An autopsy was scheduled, with the cause of death to be released Monday. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino, who called the death "suspicious," said he would wait for an announcement on the cause before deciding whether to file charges. The child was believed to have been dropped off by his mother to spend the day with the bedridden relative, The McAllen Monitor reported Friday. |

Seems like an obese person would be cushion a toddler rather than breaking his skull. Of course, they could bounce off the adult like a ball bearing hitting a cushion in a pin ball game and do the damage against some hard object, but fat is kind of soft and kids are tough. Of course if a flying stingray can kill you while riding in a boat, I wouldn't rule out accidental. dkw |

Why would you leave a 2 y/o with a "bed ridden" person? Obese or otherwise? |

Holy cow, you need mobility to look after an active toddler - how could you leave a little one in the care of someone who can't get up. The parents share part of the blame for this one. Beyond poor judgement. |
