Re: Corbin

Hmm? As I said, I imagine there are many investigations ongoing. Something isn't right, imho. To me, and perhaps only to me, the quote, "I still love you," isn't what I would say as a mother. My response - well, if the version this mother states is true, I would have stopped the car and comforted the child before continuing. A child in a fetal position is experiencing trauma. Why? But my responses would have been entirely different. And ultimately I would have said something more like, "You know I'll (we'll) always love you, no matter what. You can always come to us, yada yada," Semantics. But to say "I still love you," flat, just like that, seems odd. That's what I'd say to someone who has done something that offended me. Poor child.

Here's some additional reportings on the incident.  There are a few contridictionsfrom the original report.....I still have a hard time accepting all of this as factual.

There seems to be many things that were involved that just don't make sense?  After he came home from school she didn't stay close with him.....she said he told her the kids at school told him he should hang himself.....this child should never have died.

Re: Corbin

I've watched this video several times. I wonder if there are any priors on Mother or any family members, and I'm wondering if Social Services had ever been contacted regarding this family, or if the child's teachers had noted any evidence of bullying, behavioral, learning problems, or psych issues with him over the years. I would imagine extensive investigations are ongoing. Just a thought. I noted that Mother's blinking patterns were not consistent.

Thanks for posting this video. All I can say is that this may be a much deeper story than is told. So much failed this child in so many ways, probably more than we'll ever know. There must have been many warning signs. And, does anyone wonder how it is that a nine year-old knows how to kill himself? Tragic and heartbreaking.
