I just say one thing........ of course as probably more sensible people pointed out the mother was in a shelter house, so we do not know what she passed, we do not know the "state" her mind was in that moment, we maybe cannot even imagine the troubles she had to pass before, maybe she passed situations that are in one's worst nightmares..so we cannot know what was going on in her mind in that moment....
Before screaming at "bad parenting" we also have to imagine not everyone have had the luck in life our mothers and us do have had....but of course it was her lack leaving the laundry product and the baby next each other and just get away...
I just say one thing, a general speech....times are changed, in the era of always more stressed parents, neo-moms re-taking employment too early, concerning about making the ends meets etc.... moms and dads don't need detergents looking like candies! I always keep saying that there is somethng wrong in certain today's way of doing things, lifestyle and ways to run a family..... but since this is the way things goes lately and since things like this may and do happen both for a distraction ( that could be cause of so many reasons that I don't feel I'm entitled to judge or comment situations i don't know) or for simple ignorance....well, I say... since this is a threat and P&G knows it well, the story about pods being exchanged as candies is well known and old... why the hell they don't change these damn pods to something which is less attractive for childrens??? I mean...okay..it's parents fault if they eat them... okay...but do you really wanna keep playing at "it's my fault no it's yours" like idiots or would someone really take on end the matter as smart people and avoid it to happen???
This is a thing that can be easy changed with simple things, warning people to store them away from chldren would and does not always work, for exapmple how for the medicines bottles in the years the packagings are changed from the simple twisting caps to the push-in baby proof ones or any other sort of baby-proof stuff packaging we use daily that today is considered the norm (and actually used even where there is no need or that much of risk)...why just don't turn them another shape? Parents, whenever just too overstressed or just too stupid don't need these kind of things to watch out for, you want a pack of pods forgot or dropped by mistake in the back seat near your baby/babies by a single mom, after a long stressful day coming home from a laundromat, or stupid ignorant parents just leaving the package near their washer because too lazy to put it on the top, in both of occasions childrens are the ones that pays here and since there is an a well known attraction to eat these pods from babies rather than other detergents powder or liquids or simple plain pods and tabs (for which we never hear such stories), please do something! .... That's my point of view, so after this may P&G act like a responsible company wthout just caring of profits and make their part on it.... irresponsiblity can't just be solved with irresponsibility in return..writing warning on packages may assolve you from the penal one, but real and common/sense responsibility is else IMO!!!
