No, really. You are all right, it was definitely a good learning experience. It is unlikely I will do something like that again lol

I guess all the mud I was dragged through during my lifetime did not take away from my naivety. Oh, well. Its better than becoming a cynic.

Thanks for the kind comments

I agree that it is always the right choice to help even if you think you might see trouble from it later. An argument could be made using a ruling on a good samaritan law's application after all.

However..............

Scumbag lawyers are a most resilient lot. This person may even be one.

We will choose to be kind first.

Criminals will choose how to manipulate the kindness of others as their fist reflexive thought.

Those who are kind people, will always err on its side regardless of the outcome. Anagray, I always want to err on the same side.

Good post. Erring on the side of kindness is the best, but you need to be PRUDENT when so doing.

Oh Ana! I'm sorry for the laugh at your expense. It ticks me off your goodness was taken advantage of. But we see so much sad stuff, we gotta laugh sometimes.

Just think! In the 22nd Century, all births will be over the Internet!

Well, I do not know... Personally, if someone was writing me in a chatroom or online, etc., since I am not a licensed nurse, dr. etc., I would rather them use their energies talking to someone experienced, therefore I would tell them to call 911 or give me their info and I would call 911 for them. Other than emotional support, I would let others tackle the medical end of this, because you never know, she may actually have a problem with the baby, and I do not want any part of this. However, if I connected her with 911, I feel I would have done my part. Also, a licensed nurse, etc., who does not have any experience delivering babies, very well could do damage in case there was some problem with the mother or the baby during the birth.

So, I am as compassionate as the next person, but I would rather let the experts tackle with what they usually do. Also, I do not want any part of a lawsuit for giving the wrong advice, etc. etc.
