I think the only one that got to me was the mom who threw a pizza in the oven, fell asleep, and woke up with the house on fire and burned her son up.......... It was ok untill she started saying he was suppost to graduate form kindergarden the next day................ Everyone else left the room crying, I pushed it down and stayed because it was techincally a crime scene and evidence at that point, someone had to maintain integrity of the scene and evidence.................

how often do you think you could call a dead 5 year old evidence and a crime scene
As hard as it is, it's your job. It doesn't mean your uncompassionate, but it does take a toll on you sometimes. Like you said, classifying a child as a piece of evidence is very difficult, but crucial.
