A Tragedy Waiting to Happen.

This not good news! But what parent in their right mind would ever choose to name their off-spring "Mister." ?

I am glad that the mother has removed herself from the gene pool. I am saddened that she took her kids along...


Child whose mom, sibling drowned in Chattahoochee dies

The Associated Press

5:57 p.m. Thursday, August 16, 2012
A child who wandered into the Chattahoochee River in Columbus has died at a hospital, three days after his mother and her 11-month-old son both drowned while trying to save the boy.

Muscogee Coroner Bill Thrower says 3-year-old David Brown died Wednesday.

Police told The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that the family was fishing on the bank at Rigdon Park Sunday when the 3-year-old went into the water.

Police say the mother, holding her baby, went in to get him and all three went under the water, police said.

Authorities say the mother, 30-year-old Krystal Ann Brown and her infant son Mister Brown both died that day. David Brown died around 1 p.m. Wednesday at Egleston Children's Hospital in Atlanta, where he had been transferred after being pulled from the water.

>I am glad that the mother has removed herself from the gene pool.

You're glad that a woman died trying to save her son? Would you have more respect for her if she had just called 911 and then just sat there and watched him die?

> But what parent in their right mind would ever choose to name their off-spring "Mister." ?

Someone who wants to emulate a top-10 80's band?

I want you to consider it may be a long series of editorial decisions that gave the child "Mister" as a given name in the story.

I envision a chain of events starting where there is a policy in place which says children of a certain age can't be named in the paper, but "Mr." would be ok and deteriorating from there.

I'm not saying its the way it went down. Only holding it open as a possibility.

You're pleased she died, because you disapprove of the name she may have given her child? wtf? It's a good thing she didn't do something really outrageous, like jaywalk! Maybe then you'd be calling for her to be burned at the stake?

Do you have any kids? What names did you give them, so we can all see what "appropriate" (i.e. non-death-worthy) names might be?

Isn't that what everyone keeps saying people are supposed to do in an emergency, call 911 and let the cops save them, rather than saving themselves....

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Thats a very strange thing to say.

When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Yes, that is what EVERYONE keeps saying. No exceptions. Everyone keeps saying that. Everywhere I go, everyone is saying that. Everyone.

This is probably not a model incident in favor of taking emergency response into one's own hands.

Uh, OK. This wasn't about 'saving herself' but I imagine you're working up to some kind of point.

OK, you did not ask me but, my opinion:

No surprise here. Everything regarding Nazi/Hitler/AB still is alive in the US. Why you guys love that so much is beyond my understanding

So, you should ask your fellow countrymen.
