A mother walks out of the house with her baby girl. She carefully places her in the child safety seat and puts a toy and a pacifier next to her. She keeps an eye on her throughout the trip.
The mother turns on the radio, or perhaps she plays a CD with children’s songs. Perhaps she sings to her child, or just talks to her, or whispers her baby’s name.
There is so much joy in this small scene. So much innocence. A simple, daily routine of a mother and daughter. How many times have all of us done this simple act - walking out of the house with our baby?
After the murderer hit her car with the front-end loader, he then reversed. The mother's last thoughts were still for her child:
Seconds before being crushed to death by a bulldozer, 33-year-old Batsheva Onterman succeeded in unbuckling her 5-month-old baby from the car-seat and passing her out through the window to safety.
