It doesn't sound developmentally possible.
If you recall that a two-year-old, when they are trying to get a baby, first of all, they don't throw them.
That takes arm muscle strength they don't have.
So typically what they do is if they hold onto a baby, they're doing like this.
They're grabbing them against their body, and they're in no position to hold them at arm's length and throw them.
So right there, I'd have a problem with that.
You're asking people to have a development that's not appropriate for that age.
So now if they said somehow they tipped the baby out of the bassinet, that'd be fine.
But then would that be enough to cause a fracture?
And you'd have to know some more details about that.
Every once in a while, a shortfall will cause a broken bone.
Usually not, though.
And so you'd have to probably give a scene investigation and see more what that looks like.
Well, that particular chat and everything else, my impression is that, first of all, I know most of those people that they had.
What they were talking a lot about was process, the way that it was shaped.
They were talking about the process and saying, you know, you really have to think about what you're doing here and, you know, what's going on and all that stuff.
And that's true.
You absolutely do.
You don't want to jump to a conclusion.
You want to think it all the way through.
