candycoated "I think the fact that you partially blame the lady in question says an awful lot about you and not in a good way."
Exactly what is that poisonous little titbit supposed to mean? "says an awful lot about you and not in a good way".
The fact I have questioned the eager clamouring to blame the mother exclusively and the baying for her to "pay" in one way or another, and suggested that although (as I keep saying) the accident is awful for the lady concerned, the fact she is suffering does not automatically mean the mother of the scooting child should be vilified to the extent she has been.
The accident was between an adult who could have looked more carefully and therefore avoided being injured (and breaking the child's wrist) and a very small child who could have been walking but as it happens was scooting was a mere 5ft from her mother (if circumstances hadn't conspired the way they had to produce an accident 5 ft from her mother would not normally constitute dangerously out of control...).
It was an accident as far as what we can read on here can be made out - some people are taking a great deal of pleasure in their righteous indignation at the terrible mother who allowed her toddler to scoot 5ft ahead, and I can only assume none of these people have ever done anything that could have, but perhaps didn't, result in an avoidable accident.
If a young healthy adult had stepped out of their drive and collided with the child, and broken the child's wrist but the said adult had been been uninjured, I wonder if people would still be as unified in baying for the child's mother's blood? It is the same accident, with different participants, and I imagine there would have been a lot more sympathy for the mother and child.
The lasts posts by the OP sounds as if the family of the little girl (who are new to the area and "outsiders") are being roundly "ganged up on" by community who are really rather enjoying "putting them right" and making them feel their wrath. The fact is what the mother was allowing was nothing that thousands of others don't allow, and nothing that would attract much in the way of criticism, if circumstances hadn't conspired to result in an accident.
The clear relish with which some on MN are playing judge and jury and apportioning blame "100%" upon a mother of an injured child for doing something not unusual or terrible, and something the broad equivalent of which they are very likely to have done themselves (in terms of being a tiny bit lax when in a hurry and under stress and allowing something that might, in retrospect, not have been the safest choice) also says something about them "and not in a good way" to use that snide and judgemental little phrase.
