This is where I am at. My very first checks would be the wife and the kids. The wife would be put on station, phone in hand. I would probably have to hear one of my own downstairs screaming before I would go down there alone without verifying everybody else's well being.Pariah3j wrote:More details would help me decide if this was a mistake and or negligence on his part.
Personally, I get woke up in the middle of the night by a sound, I'm going to first check on my wife and see if its not her. And if it worries me enough to go check on it, I'm going to wake her up and let her know first.
Of course its always easy to Monday morning quarterback things, and he has to live with this mistake for the rest of his life.
It is a tragedy no matter what.
