My heart goes out to everyone involved in this terrible situation. B’H the child is alive and may it be the will of Hashem that he should have a complete refuah sheleima.
#6, It is a lot easier than you think. Kids fall asleep and can’t be seen from the driver seat... or just being overwhelmed can do it. So please hold off judgment and negativity.
#12, I didn’t get that perspective when I read the story. I don’t see at any point where the dialog points to her in a negative manner in any which way shape or form. It’s a terrible thing and while understandable, it’s not something that we have the luxury of making a mistake with. I hope that she doesn’t have to face legal issues since this was truly a mistake. By setting up a heavy fine or jailtime would not have prevented this tradegy.
As for all of us, we need to learn from her mistake...

Will any Yid give hakaras hatov to the stranger who cared enough to do the CPR and breathe life back into this child. Your article sounds as if the woman resuscitated the child. If Hashem saw fit to choose Mr. Vasquez...

Thank you ashaindel, you gave the hakaras hatov, the ability to prform CPR is not something to be assumed or taken for granted.
A situation like this requires fast thinking and acting Mr. Vasquez is indeed a hero. The first people on such a scene, if you think about it, are really the ambulance, police or other specifically trained people, it is common everyday people like you and me, be they frum or not!
