If you accidentally drove your car off a bridge, into a river, and your child was strapped in the car seat in the back seat, could you save yourself before saving your child?

I was watching Inside Edition last night. The story was brief, and I’m sure there were things not mentioned, but here’s the synopsis. It was raining, Mom hydroplaned and went over a bridge and into a river. Her four-year-old son was in his car seat in the back. She got herself out and “watched in horror as the car sank, with her son screaming for his Mommy.” Dad was driving in front of them, saw the accident, came back, and rescued the child. By the time they got him he was blue and not breathing. They resuscitated him. The thing that got me was, neither the report nor the mother said one single word about any attempts by her (the mother) to get her son out! Like I said, I’m sure there is a lot they didn’t tell, but to me, if she DID try to get her son out and nobody mentioned it, that would be a glaring omission! All they said was that when her husband got there, she swam to the shore to get help. What was she doing until then??? Me, I’d rather drown with my child, trying to get them out….
