Bear Mom Speaks

After bear bite, boy said, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry'

I guess I'm not mad at the mom and the poor kid who inadvertently got the Maymont bears euthanized anymore; now I just feel sorry for them. The whole incident is just heartbreaking. It has Hallmark Made For TV Movie written all over it. I wonder how she got Michael Morchower as a lawyer? I would have thought he'd be, ah, somewhat pricey. Maybe he's donating his services for the publicity.

Just a few days ago you said

But I can't wait until some reporter tracks them down and sticks a microphone in their faces and asks, "so how does it feel to know that the entire city of Richmond thinks you are horrible, horrible people and wants you to pay dearly for causing the deaths of two completely innocent black bears in a public park?"

and now you feel sorry for them? Why the change of heart?

Doh! I guess I did say that. I think the Times-Dispatch confession did a lot to change my mind.. "Julia" just didn't sound like a negligent mother. She also got some points for coming forward instead of hiding out somewhere. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt until some new evidence appears.
