I hope she'll be ok.

Here's what I don't understand..........

The article I read, said they found her lying next to her mother and baby sister.

How the heck is a whole family thrown 10 miles, and end up landing next to each other??

the girl was found in New Pekin, Ind. on Friday near the bodies of her 21-year-old mother, and her younger siblings. Reuters reports they were a 3-year-old brother and a 2-month-old sister.



authorities are trying to determine how the child wound up in the field, since her family lived about 10 miles south of where she was discovered.

Very sad. I feel sorry for the grandparents, having to take care off all this and having to make the decision to take her off life support.


If this is the same child, someone has been reporting wrong information. This article says she was found 150 yards from her house.

Toddler found after twister dies in hospital

Updated at 5:05 p.m. ET
The 14-month-old girl found in a field after Friday's tornadoes passed away after being taken off life support on Sunday, her grandparents told NBC News.

The grandparents and doctors had earlier decided to remove Angel Babcock from life support due to the severity of her injuries.

Angel was found alive about 150 yards from where her family's home had stood. Her parents, Joe and Moriah Babcock, died instantly; so too did her brother Jaydon, 2 years, and sister Kendall, 2 months.

Baby Angel Babcock's Grandmother Mourns Loss of Entire Family in Tornado

http://gma.yahoo.com/baby-angel-babcocks-grandmother-mourns-loss-entire-family-050220787--abc-news.html


The death toll from dozens of tornadoes that ravaged parts of the Midwest and South last week has reached 39 with the death of Baby Angel, the toddler found next to the bodies of her family members in a field near their Indiana home.

She died Sunday from traumatic brain injury after her family removed her from life support.

Fifteen-month-old Angel Babcock was taken by helicopter to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky., Saturday and placed in critical condition. Angel died at 4:10 p.m. Sunday afternoon after her grandmother, Kathy Babcock, made the decision with other family members to take her off life support.

"I had my arm around her when she took her last breath," Babcock said in an exclusive interview with ABC News. "I sang to her itsy-bitsy spider."

Angel's mother, Moriah Babcock, 20, father Joseph Babcock, 21, and two siblings Jayden and Kendall were found dead in the same field as the toddler Friday afternoon. Angel's grandmother told ABC News that when she let her granddaughter go Sunday afternoon, she knew the baby girl was going in the arms of her father.

"We were all around the bed, I had my hand on the side of her, and I reached for her hand, and was holding her hand," Babcock said. "I don't know what made me let go but she put her arms straight up, she was daddy's little girl. So daddy picked her up and took her. The whole room seen that. He was just like, standing in front of her. She wanted to go with daddy."

Now the family and friends of the Babcocks are faced with the task of burying five of their loved ones.

"They need to have a proper burial," family friend Sherry Young said. "That's my dream, that's my prayer. I've been praying and praying that this can happen for them."

The Babcock family has turned to their community for help in burying their loved ones. Bank of America has set up a Babcock Family Fund to help pay for the family's funeral expenses.

"I know it's tragic we lost all five of them and it's hard that we did," Young said. "The one thing I can say, they're all together and that is comforting. Knowing they are together because they were together day in and day out and they'll always be together."

I wonder if the baby saw her parents when she died and thats why she reached her arms up for them before dieing. I really hope she did.

Doesn't that make you cry? The whole family to be buried together. So sad.
