Good discussion. We need to educate members of the media about the impossibility of predicting child deaths, so that they take these events into perspective instead of perpetuating the sensational witch hunts that follow these tragedies. I'm a big proponent of good empirical research in this area, but in my view better research will not enable us to foresee the future. We might as well wish for crystal balls. Julia H.
