About This Quote

In 2008, a toddler was found locked in a bathroom. The parents said the child was doing nothing but the dog was barking. So, the parents decided to ignore the dog and let him drown. How could they do this? The child was their only child and they could lose everything if the child died. They should have called 911 to save their son’s life.
