Factor of Lorainne Morrissey + Sarah Russell(spoiler)


Lorainne Morrissey wasn't glad that the Russell Girl or Sarah came home, to see her mother & father & younger brother Daniel, & even exboyfriend Evan who works in the gas station, yet she was hiding that she is coming down with Leukemia.

This is now why she disliked Sarah(Lorainne). Sarah was babysitting Lorainne's & Howard's three childen that is 9 year old Rick & 11 year old John 7 years ago. Plus she should not have left the stroller next to the cellar door that had a loose latch that opened by itself.

All that was happening was Sarah had to be a referee & a mediator to both John & Rick who were fighting over a TV remote to change channels. While she was doing that, the latch opened, & baby Jennifer fell down & got killed. Howard realizes it was an accident & it was only 25 percent her fault.

Here is something she could have done before being a mediator & referee to John & Rick.(who did get along perfectly better 7 years later). She could have wheeled Jennifer and the stroller to another room & then went to referee & mediate with John & Rick.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20. In almost any situation, there are woulda, shoulda, couldas. There is no way she could have foreseen what happened.

LEFant44 that is the definition of an accident. you didn't do something you should have done.
How do you think accidents happen?

Life is not perfect and when you hire a babysitter for two boys and a baby, maybe you should hire an adult and not a teenager.
