i AM happy for her but

Is that an offshoot of victim-blaming? Seems like a crap thing to say if so.

The story of her child's death also made me mad. When my kids were around 5 to 8, we hiked a basic trail all the time. I would always make sure they walk inside, never near the edge. These are basic, very wide trails, but I was still very paranoid. Even if anybody fell, it would have been a roll, and they would have been okay. LOL! How are you not watching your kid on a steep mountain near a cliff like that? She said her son was gathering sticks for marshmallows, and said he could find all 3 under a minute. She bet he couldn't. So not only are you near a cliff, you have a bet going on that no doubt contributed to a child rushing and being less careful. I really didn't like that backstory.
