Would You Tweet When Your Child Is Dying?

Would you tweet when your child is dying. This was all over the international news - a woman tweeted while emergency workers tried to revive her 2-years old child who was found at the bottom of a swimming pool. I reflected on this. I would not judge her harshly. What do you think? This is lifted off http://www.usatoday.com/

At 5:22 p.m., Shellie Ross ,an avid blogger and tweeter, posted a message about the fog that rolled in as she worked in her chicken coop. At 5:23 p.m., her 11-year-old son, Kris made an emergency call to police, according to Joe Martin, Brevard County homicide investigator. Ross and her son had found Bryson at the bottom of the pool. While Kris was calling for help on the phone, Ross performed CPR procedure on Bryson, said Martin.

Bryson was taken to Cape Canaveral Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6 p.m. At 6:12 p.m. as Shellie Ross waited in a hospital for the word on her son, she posted this note on Twitter: "Please pray like never before, my 2 yr old fell in the pool."

Ross was later notified at 6:31 p.m. about her son's death.

"Her tweeting had nothing to do with what happened with regard to her son. It was an accident," Martin said. No charges will be filed.

When I first read the report, it was distorted, as was many reports on the net. I was led to believe that Ross tweeted on the side when emergency workers were performing CPR or something like that. In the light on the report from USAtoday, she was merely asking her usual support group for help. No different from making a call to a close family friend in times of need.
