Well, at least the paramedics had arrived before she fled and left her son behind. Still, a horrible mistake on her part.

Apparently she was concerned she would never become a nurse because of crashing while drunk with her son in the car. I pray she never becomes a nurse. I would never want my life in her hands.

I wondered why two women couldn't get the nine-year old into the sister's car? Had they been able to do that, would they have rushed him to an ER?

The story does not say but to have such an injury the child must not have been wearing a seat belt, in my opinion. No seat belt. Abandoning her injured child. No mother-of-the-year, that's for sure.
