69. what does 'carefully refusing to notice' mean?
The kid went to the creek the first time...the girlfriend took him back to his father...the kid followed her and went a second time.

She couldn't have repeated the action again?

Girlfriend and boyfriends have been held liable for the deaths of children not their own in the past. What makes this time different?

The girlfriend didn't jump in after the kid...that, I can see reasons. Panick and overwhelming fear, IMO. But when the kid could have been saved by NOT letting him near the creek a SECOND time...yeah, I can see them holding her liable for it.
