Me too. That’s what’s being discussed elsewhere. Whether mom sat by and did nothing or whether she couldn’t get them down and neither could EMS and they needed the fire department to do so.
I’m just trying to understand how those kids were hung. If it’s the kind of leash I’m imagining it has a lock clasp thing at each end. The wire couldn’t form a loop/noose around a neck easily without the lock clasp mechanism being involved. Even with tension pulling the chain I believe the clasp could be opened. Getting the tense chain through the opening would be another matter I guess.
But we need to know how those kids were hung to figure out whether mom could’ve gotten them down.
