That is one of the most horrifying things I have read. Those poor babies. I can't help but imagine my own little son in there, and keep picturing him being carried out, limp... my eyes are welling up. It's unspeakable.
Quote:An estimated 142 children, ranging from 6 months to 5 years in age, were in the day care at the time of the fire, along with six staffers who looked after them, Sonora state Gov. Eduardo Bours told a news conference.142 children to SIX workers????
That ratio is in line with legal standards, said Daniel Karam, director of Mexico's Social Security Institute, which outsourced services to the privately run center.
What the HELL are they thinking??
And I believe I read that NONE of the 'staffers' were injured!!! I'm appalled. That means they probably just ran and left the little ones behind. ::angrier::
