The woman
is Jennifer Campbell, in her facebook post, she recalled when she was
breastfeeding her newborn while her older kids played in their gated backyard.
"I didn't even have time to cover myself before a woman came around the
corner, a look of fury on her face and my two year old on her hip," she
said. "She started yelling the second she saw me.”Do you know where I just
found your child?”
The woman
had found her son out on a busy road where he could have
been hit by a car. Jennifer wrote that in the aftermath of the
incident, "I cried of course. It makes you sick to think that
something serious could happen to your child, especially in your care. It's
called an accident. And despite an accident being an accident, mothers will
still blame themselves for it and carry the guilt for life."
She also
recalled several other accidents involving her other children. Well, Jennifer’s
point is that "accidents happen, and people need love and compassion when
these situations occur, not lectures and blame. ... Be kind, gentle, and
compassionate in your thoughts and conversations about this. We are all just
perfectly imperfect humans, trying our best out here."
Many
commenters responded by telling Campbell how grateful they are for
her frankness.See Facebook post
