That’s Heat Stroke, not “heat exposure”.
I’m the parent of the 3 year old. She was airlifted to Northridge hospital. She is back home and doing much better.

Have some compassion. She learned the lesson the hard way. I think that’s bad enough. She doesn’t need to be torn down on the net too.

I agree. I would not do that, but please have some compassion. Maybe she didn’t realize it would end like this and perhaps she won’t in the future. Some have to learn lessons the hard way.
