True. Republicans tend to think there are things which should be done by parents and their relatives rather than by BIG GOVERNMENT whereas Democrats tend to think everything should be done by government because it is obvious individuals can't be expected to be responsible.

Just sayin'. “By working together, we can all do more to educate parents and caregivers and prevent these tragedies in the future.”

News is generally a new thing.
Something that happens every three days is a way of life.
Not that it should be but that it simply is.

The total number of Esc Co deaths include car wrecks, illness, still births and birth defects that result in death within a couple days of birth, heart problems etc etc etc. If a wreck happens in surrounding counties (Fl or Al) they are flown in to the trauma center at Baptist or brought to Sacred Heart Children's. Therefore our rates will be higher than surrounding counties.

I wonder if they are counting children that are physically here in Escambia, but may not be residents.

Surely more of these were criminal acts and not just four of them. Having a child death almost once every three days should be big news. Really, 100 deaths in 2011?
